Nice find and what a coincidence,In the 60,s there was a Barq,s bottler right across the street from my Grandfathers,house here in Dumas,AR,run by a man named Travis Witherington.They had a bottle just like that one in a display in his office along with some other Barqs bottles.They,ve been out of business for a while now and I don,t know what happened to the display.They also bottled Grapette soda,Yum!Nice find for you!

Hey villagenut can you screenshot mine and show him and see if he had any more info. Because if you read in my screenshot of the one like mine is with “the very seldom seen hobble skirt”. This is from the guy who I found his wedding ring he had lost years ago and he went into his garage and he gave me a suitcase full of bubble wrapped bottles Including ink bottles. Most of them had no embroidering but I got some old orange crush and this one that has peaked my curiosity.
