STERNWHEEL REGATTA FESTIVAL - RC Royal Crown Bottle - Charleston, West Virginia

Description: For those who may be interested in the history of RC. In the early 1900's, Claude Hatcher ran a grocery store in Columbus, Georgia. He sold lots of Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola. Because of his high sales, he wanted a discount from the Coca Cola salesman. He refused, so Claude said "you've sold your last bottle of Coca Cola here". Mr. Hatcher developed first, a ginger ale in 1905, and then Chero-Cola. Coca Cola sued, and he had to take the word "Cola" out of the name, so Chero sales plummeted. In 1924, the name was changed to Nehi, after producing some flavors, called Nehi, Claude's favorite fruit flavors. The company did very well with Nehi flavors, soon outselling Chero Cola. In 1930, they were selling close to 4 million cases a year. However, the Great Depression was almost disaster for the company, as they only sold 1 million cases in 1933. In the late 1940's Chero-Cola formula was reformulated and the new name was RC Cola and Diet Rite. The "sternwheel" is the paddle wheel at the stern of the boat. This bottle "Salutes the 13th Annual Charleston Sternwheel Regatta Festival August 27-September 5, 1983". On the backside of this bottle, it states, "Visit Charleston, West Virginia ** Home of the Nations Original Sternwheel Regatta Festival". Pictured on the face is a profile of the the "10" with a basketball. On the backside, is the autographs of the players, with Hobie Brown, the owner, near the top. This is a large16 oz bottle is in very good condition. The bottle is 10 1/2" tall. The bottle has bright graphics. The painted labels are near perfect with brilliant colors.
