A newie and an oldie - 2/12/2011 3:50:37 PM    Brandons Bottles Posts: 391 Joined: 10/3/2010 Status: offline I wnt back to my little "bottle heaven" shop and bought two more. I know the dr.Pepper is a little newer (Don't know how new), but I collect Dr.Peppers and it was only $2 so I can't complain. The other one is a clear 1 pint Atlas E-Z Seal. It was $1. It is missing the lid, but I'll find one to fit it. The only problem is I don't know how old it is. I looked on the internet and found out the company was late 1800s to mid 1960s but that's it. Does anyone know the age to the Atlas? Thanks Post #: 1

I heard that the longer a dr.pepper ferments inside its bottle, the better the taste : p _____________________________ Looking for non-screw or crown top sodas,beers, & ect, BIM medicines, bitters, druggists, and anything hand blown and black glass.

On ebay I saw about 20 people selling unopened dp bottles. Im not going to try cause I dont know where its been and the caps a little rusty but it must be like aged wine.

New Hampshire Status: offline I think you know I was joking about drinking it lol I have an circa 1910-20 flavoring extract bottle (banana) sealed with 100% of its contents. My dad wanted me to open it and taste it, for real. I had 2 options: 1. open it, taste it, get sick, and kill half the bottles value 2. don't open it. I chose option 2 Attachment (1) < Message edited by Blackglass -- 2/12/2011 4:19:09 PM > _____________________________ Looking for non-screw or crown top sodas,beers, & ect, BIM medicines, bitters, druggists, and anything hand blown and black glass.

New Hampshire Status: offline thx Brandon! @ Cyber the bottles content description is an utter lie, being the bottle isn't over 5 in. tall! I really have been confused why it says that. It seems that nobody world be fooled by its faulty contents description, especially because it isn't terribly old. hmmmmm.... _____________________________ Looking for non-screw or crown top sodas,beers, & ect, BIM medicines, bitters, druggists, and anything hand blown and black glass.
