Hutchinson style bottle with no stopper, tooled top. The slug has embossed lettering, white in color. The bottle's heavy glass is light aqua in color. There is no maker's mark on the side or the base. The Smith & Brian C. Bottles are the oldest embossed soda from Reno, but far from the oldest manufactory in the city. These bottles were designed and patented by William Roorbach in 1885. Smith & Brian, the proprietors, began their soda business in 1900. They advertised themselves as the "Soda Men." They continued until 1906, when they sold it. Mint condition. -60226
