Vintage 1950s Glass Refrigerator Water Bottle by Anchor Hocking - Two Available Sold Individually
{HISTORY}
If you walked into the Walter N. Boysen Paint Store in Sacramento, CA in September 1950, chances are you'd be the proud recipient of a free Anchor Hocking glass refrigerator water bottle just like the one featured here.
Part of a promotional giveaway for any shopper who spent $1.00 or more in the paint or wallpaper sections, these stylish beverage bottles were the go-to choice for fridge owners across the country when it came to enjoying a glass of cold water on a hot day.
Simple and elegant, with its flask-like shape, off-set spout, and ribbed texture, this bottle was designed specifically to be stored in the fridge. Whether you were keeping it in the side beverage compartment or tucking it in next to stackable glass refrigerator jars and containers, Anchor Hocking's water bottles could effortlessly go from fridge to table for convenient and stylish serving.
Since 1905, Anchor Hocking has been decorating kitchens with functional (and pretty!) glassware, bakeware and kitchenware. Initially started by Isaac Collins in Lancaster, Ohio under the name Hocking Glass Company, a merger in the late 1930s with Anchor Cap Company changed the name to Anchor Hocking and kept Isaac busy in the office and on the executive board for an amazing 65 years before he retired in 1973 at the age of 98. Still going strong today, Anchor Hocking continues to produce high quality glassware meant to sustain generations of use.
As the gift that keeps on giving, Anchor Hocking kitchenware was built to last not only the day, the year, and the decade but also the century. Just as Isaac intended, this vintage water bottle, perfectly designed in the mid-20th century, is still, 70 years later, up to the task of keeping people cool and hydrated in the 2020s just as it did in the 1950s.
