Found this bottle at an old house site in the woods. It's called "Beauty Spot". It has a woman's head on the front of the bottle and on the back, there is a very faded description of what the drink is: "Most delicious and refreshing, made with the best ingredients combined with water and cane sugar. Taylor's beverages are the best. Let your taste buds be the test". Also a couple markings on the bottom of the bottle. No luck finding it online. Maybe someone here knows how old it is?

LGW Laurens Glass Works was in operation from 1910-1996.

If that is a 4 in front of the LGW then it would be in the 1940s I believe.

As 'Gug' mentioned, the Laurens Glass Works, Laurens, South Carolina (1910-1996). Plants also operated in Henderson, North Carolina (opened 1957) and Ruston, Louisiana. The Henderson and Ruston plants are now part of Saint-Gobain Containers. Laurens Glass Works was a prolific manufacturer of soda bottles. The “L G W” is often seen on the bases of these soda bottles, along with mold , date, and/or style code numbers. Often, the L G W mark (as used by Laurens) is situated between numbers (date codes) such as: “6 L G W 1”. That would indicate a bottle made in 1961.

Wow good info. It was probably not a very well known company or something because of the lack of info on the internet. Thanks guys.

The Taylor Bev. Co. is still in operation today making, Slushies. Not surprising that they would make a transition from "pop" to something like that. It may not be "THE" Taylor company, but you might want to email them for their early history.... Frozen Carbonated Beverage Machine | Taylor Company
I have serious doubts this company is related in any way, but I might be wrong....
