1899: The first glass-blowing machine is patented by Michael Owens, making glass bottles available for soda pop. A wide variety of other pharmacists and inventors created many other carbonated beverages throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. C. Alf, a Charleston, S.C., druggist, may have been the first soda bottler in America. Reports Reggie Lynch of the Southeast Bottle Club, He learned his technique from Paris druggists who were pioneers in carbonated beverage bottling. The first type of bottle was the pyramid shape which had a defect in design with the neck being too thin. This defect, along with the fact that he was only a bottler for one and a half years, has made the pyramid the rarest of the colored sodas.. Lynch sold the C. Alfs bottle pictured here for $9,600 a few years ago.
