Long before soda dispensers, glass bottles with syrup lined the back bar of your local soda fountain. One such bottle that would be used pretty often was this Hires Rootbeer syrup bottle. Hires was introduced in 1876 and was the first root beer of many to follow. This syrup bottle has a paper label on the glass, which is in great condition with a nice gloss and vibrant colors. The bottle is free of cracks and chips, and stands 11 1/2 inches tall with the aluminum cap. 21553-WRP
