Hutchinson Glass Bottle


This picture shows the very first container used to bottle Coca-Cola. In 1894 a candy store owner in Vicksburg, Mississippi, Joseph A. Biedenharn, began bottling Coca-Cola to sell using a common glass bottle called a Hutchinson. Prior to this all Coca-Cola was sold in soda fountains for five cents a glass at the local drugstore.
