One side of the bottle says Savannah, and the other says Atlanta, meaning it could have been bottled in either city. Topp also made a root beer and Topp-Up soda, and later Topp Quality. According to an unsourced blog post, Topp was bottled in Atlanta by <a href="https://martaphoenixproject.gsuanthropology.com/items/show/180">May's</a>.<br />"Topp-Cola" was first copyrighted in 1958. From internet samples, it was also filed/bottled in (at least) West Virginia, California, Wyoming, Kuwait, and Germany. In 1959, they attempted to file the trademark in Puerto Rico, but Coca-Cola opposed it, resulting in a lawsuit claiming Puerto Ricans would confuse the two companies. It seems the Coca-Cola Company was trying to create a cola monopoly in Puerto Rico, but the court ruled in favor of Topp because the claim was quite unfounded.<br />The exact year the company stopped production is unclear. A Topp Quality bottle dated from 1972 on Ebay lists the Topp Cola Co. as a division of the Tasty-Mates Company in Camden, New Jersey. However Topp-Cola and Top-Quality bottles on Etsy from 1979 were still bottled in Georgia by the original company.<br />This would have been excavated in 1979 at the latest so it cannot date from after then.
