It is possible that it is still being bottled somewhere but it is not made in Cleveland anymore. I think that Harmony Club is bottled somewhere on the east coast so maybe Little Tom is as well.
While clearing out my dad's estate I found a wooden crate with the Little Tom markings as well as 24 bottles. One bottle has a crack and one bottle has a hole in it. The bottles are empty but several have the caps that are rusty but not bent. Where do I start to find a value of these, or even if they are an item people are interested in? I checked ebay to get a little idea, but know there must be other options. Can anyone help?
The Little Tom bottles are fairly common and therefore the value is relatively low, you can get anywhere from a dollar up to as much as ten dollars per bottle. If there are other brands in the case they may be worth more. The bottles with a crack or hole have basically no value. The caps also have value too and sometimes caps are worth more than the bottles depending on rarity and demand. The wooden crate has a minimal value of about $10. You can try selling these at an estate sale, local auction or flea market. It is common to see these bottles on Ebay so you may not be able to get very much on there (I've personally sold a couple at $5 on Ebay) Hope all this info helps and good luck!
I sure would like to be able to buy a case of little toms cream soda. I remember it from 1965 growing up. Or if I could get a tee shirt with the little toms logo
Hello! My husband's family is the founder of Little Tom's. Can anyone help me find a few bottles? I've been looking and have found a few but the price some people are asking is crazy. They are no longer making or re-bottling anylonger and the family bottles that were saved went to my husband's uncles. I would love to surprise him with two bottles and looking to pay $10. Any interested email me at Klely42@yahoo.com
We're senior citizens who'd like to find a new home for our case of 24 Little Toms - white and red - in very nice condition. Wood case included. Make offer if you're serious but cost of shipping will be added to price (that case with bottles IS HEAVY) or pick up in Cleveland area. Mrs. C - Carletone@aol.com
Does anyone know if the Little Tom Beverage company is at all related to the Big Boy beverages in Cleveland? I have a case of Little Tom's but the grape sodas have Big Boy caps. That has me perplexed. These are all full bottles.
My uncle that would throw the family reunions and summer cookouts, would buy cases of these,placed in a large tub outside filled with ice,and leave the empty cases right there to return the empties.we would run drinking the bottles and not get yelled at.
They used to make little Toms pop a couple streets from my house on Union Avenue and every summer they would have a pop drinking contest you go in the back door grab one drink it while you walk through the company and when you came out the front door they had crates to put the empties in I remember I want a t-shirt with little Tom's logo on it sure miss those days

Do you know if they still make Little Tom soda pop?

I do not have any bottles. By chance does your husband still have the recipe for this beverage
