NuGrape was first bottled
in 1921. Nu- Icy flavors appeared on the market
shortly after. The National NuGrape Company of Atlanta,
Georgia, was organized in April 1933 to continue the sale
of these product's to the nation's soft drink bottlers.
The Sun Crest line was added in 1938. Nu Grape produced a
few trays in the 1920s, interesting bottles, and a nice
group of tin signs and thermometers, but the best NuGrape
advertising took the form of calendars dating from the
1920s through the 1950s.
