J. J. Tuckfield, Las Vegas Bottling Works Nevada. Four piece mold Crowntop soda bottle. Sparkling clean, bright and vibrant. The Tuckfield soda is one of only two embossed bottles from Las Vegas from the early period, c1905-1910. Both are exceptionally rare. There are only two specimens of the Tuckfield bottle known, though there is a report of a third specimen. Of the two known, both have a crude "W" etched in the shoulder which probably was the initial successor of Tuckfield. Tuckfield started his soda works in 1907 in Las Vegas. It lasted until at least 1915. By then the majority of Tuckfield's business was beer, so he probably didn't last long as the prohibition approached. Of the two specimens known, one has been known for decades. The second example surfaced recently in an eBay sale. We had heard about that bottle for more than 25 years, and had wondered what it would finally come out of the woodwork.. See Holabird, Vol. l, pp 141-142.
