Collection of three glass companion pieces related to the Blue Bird, Bishop & Company, and Croft's brands. Collection includes:

1. (center) Thick, green glass bottle once containing Blue Bird soft drink. The Blue Bird name and logo are embossed in the glass, the 1925 patent number embossed around the base.  7 1/2" tall, in excellent condition.

2. (right) Measuring 6" in height, glass jar once housing some type of product manufactured by Bishop & Company. Constructed of thick, durable glass, the Bishop & Company maker's mark is embossed into the bottom of the bottle, indicating it was likely wrapped with a product label, long since removed. Somewhat dirty, we are not in the business of cleaning aged items but it could certainly be done here.  A very attractive piece, interesting to hobbyists due to Bishop & Company's association with several PCL baseball issues around the turn of the century.

3. (left) Attractive glass bottle measuring just shy of 6" in height by a bit under 3 1/2" in width, slightly smaller than the two similar bottles with labels that are offered in this auction, an early example of shrinkflation.  Glass is clear and unblemished, the Croft's maker's mark embossed into the side of the bottle, as well as the lid, which has oxidized to a dark patina.  Of interest to hobbyists due to Croft's production of the E92 Croft's Cocoa baseball card issue.
