The vintage 1950s Cream Soda Bottle Cap, a product of the 7up Bottling plant in Hagerstown, Maryland, holds a significant place in the history of soda. This cap, with its unique design and association with a renowned bottling plant, represents an era of innovation and growth in the soda industry. 

These vintage caps are likely part of the Sun Drop brand, which was developed in St. Louis, Mo., in 1949 by Charles Lazier, a salesman of beverage concentrates. What's fascinating is that in those early years, it was left up to the individual bottler to name the product, adding a personal touch to each bottle. Crush took over the Sun Drop brand in 1970 and the name was standardized. Sun Drop sodas, with their unique history, have been passed around for decades and have such a vast following that people have been known to smuggle them to places where they aren't distributed. It is shipped to military soldiers worldwide who crave that taste from their Southern and Midwestern roots.

P.C.C. Bottler, a unique company in the soda industry, is responsible for mixing drink ingredients and filling cans and bottles with the drink. They then distribute the final product to wholesale sellers in a specific geographic area. The company, established in 1852 by Dr. Cantrell, who left Grattan & Co. to develop his own chemist business, was an essential part of American history.
