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."

According to the Faygo web site, this logo style dates to the 1930s and was used into the 1950s.

Russian bakers Ben and Perry Feigenson founded Faygo in 1907. The original Faygo pop flavors were based on their own cake frosting recipes.

A building abutting a liquor store in Detroit burned to the ground recently and revealed this Faygo sign which dates from the 1950s or possibly the 1940s.

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.

20x20
