The US 64oz aren't very common but I doubt if they are rare. It is one of their neatest big bottles. I see a lot of people making lamps out of them. They were returnable bottles I believed used during the 60s or 70s. I watched two go on ebay for $43, both were different so I guess they are worth around $20 each. The item number is 3688679149.

(2 Liter also was only Straight Walled design) The 2 liter replaced 64 oz by 1977. So 64 oz not to common. Especially the Small Screw Cap one. (in reply to rexmiller) Post #: 4
