 ABM Bottles 
(Automatic Bottle Machine) |
 | Four embossed ABM bottles from three of the major islands. Kona Bottling Works, Honolulu Soda water Co. Ltd., EP Co. - Ewa and Kauai Soda Co. These bottles were produced in the 1920-1930's. They are similar to bimals in that they had no labels and in some cases were manufactured with the same embossment of their earlier cousins. |

Old embossed cokes called Hobbleskirt Cokes. These types of cokes were produced throughout the United States. At first glance they all look the same. There were over 37 varieties of Hobbleskirt Cokes produced for Hawaii. On the bottom of the cokes was the identification of the location. Some cokes had a Christmas date and are known as the Christmas Cokes. They are among the rarest of the ABM cokes in Hawaii. |

Three 7-Up bottles. These three 7-Ups are all from Wailuku, Maui. There are slight differences in the stenciled pattern on the front of the bottles. You sometimes have to look close to see the differences. |

This is a Diamond Head Soda. This soda was popular in the
1950-1970's. It contained a variety of sodas including strawberry and
