Vintage Norka 12oz. Soda Bottle-Used. This 12oz ACL bottle is clear with red and white graphics. It is in very good condition, with very little wear. The bottle has the Owens-Illinois trademark and the number 56, possibly the date made (1956), on bottom. The graphics are bright and easy to read, with minimal paint loss. The name Norka is Akron spelled backwards. The front says "The Norka Beveridge Co.", and "Akron, Ohio. The back reads " Everybody likes Norka." In 1962, Norka shut down operations. However, in 2005 the company was revived and now bottles a craft soda using Norka's original flavors in the Akron area. Please view photos; they are the most important part of description.
