32 oz. green bottles - 9/10/2005 5:39:39 PM    quicksilver   Posts: 133 Joined: 7/16/2005 Status: offline I found 3, 32 oz. bottles Christmas green in color. They have the words "Not To Be Refilled" at the top and "No Returns" "No Deposit" around the mid-part of the bottle. The Owens date is 1968/1969. I think these are sodas. Let me know for sure and their approximate value. Matt Post #: 1

'68-69 sounds about right. The glass was thinner than the returnables and apparently not made to stand up to additional trips through the bottling process. I remember there were some incidents of them actually exploding on store shelves. I don't recall how many years they were used,but they were very very commom at the time, so may not have much value. On the other hand, maybe not that many survived. (in reply to quicksilver) Post #: 2

They come in pepsi, coke, mountain dew, and some other maybe...... sprite? I just picked up a mountain dew last weekend which is probably the hardest of the ones I have seen to get your hands on.
