Trinity Bottling Works crown-top bottle (Three Rivers Glass)

Clear glass soda bottle with a crown finish and a short smooth neck. The shoulder carries vertical fluting that steps down into a horizontal panel where curved TRINITY lettering sits above bold block BOTTLING WORKS; the lower body is vertically ribbed down toward the base. Below the ribbed section, a lower heel band embosses TRINITY, TEXAS around the bottom edge. The flint glass carries a faint straw tint and some internal cloudiness — common on older bottles — with strong side highlights from the lighting.

This is Trinity Bottling Works packaging, not Hoffmann-Hayman branding, but it sits in the same Three Rivers Glass collecting lane as the other regional bottles from Glass Bottles from Three Rivers. We acquired it in June 2014 from jays-emporium on eBay as part of that six-bottle purchase.

Register: Accession HH-BOTTLE-2014-0006 has possession_status: unknown on the accession register pending inventory against later trades from that purchase.
