Vernor's Ginger Ale - Deliciously Different!

Vintage 1950s-60S Vernor's Ginger Ale bottle cap.
________________________

According to legend, before James Vernor left Detroit to serve in the Civil War, he stored some of his experimental ginger ale in an oak cask. When he returned four years later, he opened the cask and found that the drink had been changed by the aging process, tasting even better than it had before. He declared the ginger ale to be “Deliciously Different,” which became one of the many slogans for the drink such as "Flavor Aged" and "Aged in Wood."

New Photo Series and format


The James Vernor Co. was sold in 1966 to an investment group ending a century of family ownership. Hence, this cork-lined bottle cap predates that event, most likely the mid to late 1950s.

To compliment my series of vintage Detroit signs and brands, a new series of vintage bottle caps from genuine Detroit beverages debuts with this vintage Vernor's bottle cap.

This series is available on 16" x 16" 1 1/4" thick stretched canvas wraps. They are ideal for decorating your office, den, rec room or "man cave" to celebrate Detroit and its unique commercial heritage.

Other sizes available:
20x20
24x24
30x30
36x36

This vintage sign dates to the mid to late 1950s and displays the same logo type as the bottle cap above. It was revealed after demolition of a building adjoining what is now Westland Lawn & Snow Equipment.
