Baltimore MD 3.5” across base, 2” wide 9.5” tall HISTORY Space Foods Company was an American business located in Baltimore, Maryland. An idea before it's time, the company developed a line called Galaxy Home Syrups...for Soft Drinks. The homemade soda kit collection consisted of 10 different ranks of the crew members with 8 different colors. The bottles also had a screw-on cap with flavor label. The five flavors were Cherry, Raspberry, Lemon-lime, Grape and Orange. These awesome bottles were put into production and boxed in cases of 12. We don't know when the company planned to launch these kits to the public, but in 1953 Space Foods Company filed for bankruptcy and deemed the initial launch a failure. 

In 1971, our Space Ace's grandfather purchased a building for his manufacturing company. To his surprise, the building came with more than just factory floor space. The upstairs was home to thousands of these boxed crew members, who never had the chance to complete their launch. Space Ace's family has sold a few to collectors, but never found a way to tell the story of these bottles.
