Seven survivors from a Depression-era soda that sold for just 3¢ — about 40% less than the nickel sodas of the day. 💚
The Original 3 Centa Drink was a short-lived Southern soft drink associated with Athens, Georgia bottler Joe Costa. These embossed green bottles date to the mid-1930s into the early 1940s, and several in this group carry LGW / Laurens Glass Works markings along with Patent No. 52423.
Finding one is unusual. Finding seven together — all chip- and crack-free, with several exceptionally clean examples — is what makes this group so special.
Would you keep the seven together or split the set?
