Super RARE Oriental "Show-You" Soy Sauce Bottle from around the 1920s-30s with its original labels witch is next to impossible to find. This is a great little bottle and one of, what I believe to be one of the earliest examples of "Engrish" in American Advertising with the words "Show-You" being "Engrish" for the word Shoyu and is the true name of Soy Sauce. For those of you that don't know what "Engrish" is, In basic it is a play on words or a way of making fun of Asian broken English, so the piece in some way is a bit racy. Bottle is in great shape with no cracks or chips and label has some minor ware in places but still displays wonderfully for its age. Piece measures 2 1/2in X 7 1/2in and was made in Columbia City, Indiana. Thank you for looking, Please Check out my other items for more great pieces of advertising and .
