Snow Crest is also known in bottle-collecting circles for a 1940s trademark dispute with Coca-Cola over its \"Polar Cola\" branding (Snow Crest won on appeal), adding a layer of regional beverage history to this piece.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIZE 7\" tall\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eCONDITION Very good, gently used. Glass free of chips or cracks.
