History
This glass bottle was produced in 1976 to commemorate the United States Bicentennial, celebrating 200 years of American independence. The Log Cabin Syrup brand used these decorative bottles as part of a promotional campaign, featuring embossed patriotic imagery including Revolutionary War drummers and the dates 1776-1976. The bottle was manufactured by Metro Bottle Company and originally contained maple-flavored syrup, with the cork stopper adding to its vintage appeal. Bicentennial commemorative bottles like this one appeal strongly to Americana collectors, patriotic memorabilia enthusiasts, and vintage advertising collectors who appreciate the intersection of commercial products and historical celebration. These bottles represent a significant moment in American history and the creative marketing strategies of the 1970s, making them nostalgic pieces that connect collectors to both the Revolutionary era being celebrated and the Bicentennial celebration itself. The embossed glass design and cork closure add decorative value beyond simple nostalgia.
