Welcome to the forum.

I've never seen or heard of "Tog" either. I did a quick search but didn't find anything. I have a book which list about 7,000 different soda brands, and Tog is not in it. It has the appearence of being 1940s. There should be some embossed date codes, etc. on the base. Please tell us exactly what number - letters - symbols are on the base and I'm sure we can figure out when it was made. A picture of the base would be even better if it is focused and readable.

I did find the brand pictured below, but it is "Sunny Side" in two words and from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It dates in the early 1960s. Is the Sunny Side on your bottles spelled out in one or two words?

I did some more research and discovered your Tog bottle is probably not related to the Sunny Side bottle I posted. But I will leave the pic and info posted anyway just in case. The few references I did find show Sunnyside as one word, and only from Joliet. I also found a brief reference for a 1946 Tog bottle. But no pictures or other info. I was curious if Tog had some specific meaning or definition and found this ...

Tog ... "Any outer garment. Shortened from togman. Cloak or loose coat."

But what that has to do with a brand of soda pop is anybodies guess. :icon_scratch:
