ORIGINAL 1910\'s ZIPP\'S CHERRI-O SODA FOUNTAIN COUNTERTOP SYRUP DISPENSER
Price: US $610.00
Very Rare and original, 1910\'s Ceramic Soda Fountain Syrup Dispenser for “Zipp\'s Cherri-O” Soda / Flavoring in the form of a Barrel. This outstanding, Soda Fountain Countertop Dispenser measures approx. 15” tall (to the top of the period pump) and 6 1/2” in diameter at the base. This figural Syrup Dispenser is made of a white, ironstone type pottery and features raised bands and applied decoration.


The Dispenser features the original Zipp\'s Cherri-O decoration which depicts a Robin perched on a branch of a Cherry Tree enjoying a glass of Cherri-O Soda which the Robin is sipping through a straw. This same illustration was used on many Cherri-O Advertising items in the first decade of the 20th century including Tin Litho Trays and Advertising Signs. Text above and below the illustration reads \"Zipp\'s Cherri-O\" and the central illustration is flanked by text that reads \"5¢\".


The Dispenser came to us with a period Pump that fits very well but is not original to the Dispenser. Interestingly, the original porcelain button on the plunger of the Pump reads \"Coca-Cola\" making the Pump itself rather valuable in its own right!!


This rare and wonderful, Zipp\'s Cherri-O form Soda Fountain Syrup Dispenser is in good to very good condition. The Dispenser is intact but does have condition issues. There is staining and discoloration to the ground porcelain as well as fading and wear to the surface decoration. There are 6 of 7 small chips on the inner and outer surface af the very bottom edge of the foot of the Dispenser and there are 2 tight hairline cracks that begin at the bottom of the foot and extend 2\" and 3/4\" respectively. The Dispenser is certainly a candidate for restoration as it is exceptionally rare and high quality examples have sold at sale in the past for $8,000 to $12,000. Here is an opportunity to add this rare Syrup Dispenser to your collection for a tiny fraction of that price - it is offered here, as always without reserve and with an opening offer of $9.00.


A very rare and original, 1910\'s Ceramic Soda Fountain Syrup Dispenser for “Zipp\'s Cherri-O” Soda / Flavoring and, with all faults, still a fantastic addition to any collection!!!

Notes about Shipping Charges and the \"Detailed Seller Rating\" Star System:

The amount quoted for Shipping & Handling is calculated by and is equal to the EXACT amount charged by the Post Office plus a $1.00 \"packing fee\" - the $1.00 fee is our only compensation for the virgin packing materials we use on all of our professionally packaged boxes as well as our cost for the salaried help that does most of our packing - as I am sure you can see, we make NO profit on the Shipping charges and, in fact, our costs are usually greater than the $1.00 fee.

We have NEVER requested response from our customers as we were taught that \"fishing for compliments\" was impolite but the new Detailed Rating System has put us in a rather tight spot. Most buyers are unaware that bases a monthly fee discount on a Seller\'s \"Star\" rating. A monthly average of \"4.6 Stars\" (in any one of the four \"Star\" categories) costs us approximately $400 in additional Fees - that\'s $400 above what we would pay if we had a \"4.8 Star\" average in all 4 \"Star\" categories!! As a consequence we hope you do not find us rude to ask that if you are happy with our items, our service, and our packing & shipping please be sure to use the \"Star\" rating system and remember that a \"5 Star\" rating is the only way we can qualify for \'s fee reduction program. ,
