RE: My mountain dew bottle.... - 2/8/2012 11:12:12 AM    ncbred Posts: 1003 Joined: 6/20/2008 Status: offline I've found that the Ayers guide is actually more accurate than the Dick Bridgforth book as far as pricing goes.  Alot of the values in the Bridgforth book are very inflated.  Not sure if the Ayers guide has a complete listing of the bottles though.  Even I found one that wasn't listed in the Bridgforth book or the Ayers.  A Whaleysville, MD bottle.  But the Bridgforth book is worth buying because it is very thorough and has nearly every bottle and variation you can imagine.  They also connect the names on the bottle to the city they were bottled in.  Gives you a ton of history about Mountain Dew, other related bottles and even copy cats. Both are worth having. (in reply to cherise) Post #: 6

Ayer's book doesn't even scratch the surface of the 800+ variations and types out there, and his prices are long since out of date. Bridgeforth does have some overly inflated prices; however, his book is the guide that most dealers are going by these days. I even asked him about his crazy and I do mean crazy pricing of 10oz and 6oz Tip bottles at $175, which usually can be gained for between $10 and $20 any day of the week. I was told that was what they were bringing on Ebay at the time of the writing of the book. Yeah, I dunno. On that one Ayer's wins hands down. I own both. http://www.amazon.com/Mountain-Dew-Hillbilly-Dick-Bridgforth/dp/1419660861/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1328725797&sr=8-5 < Message edited by morbious_fod -- 2/8/2012 1:36:24 PM > _____________________________ My website chronicling the soda bottling companies of the Southwest Virginia or Northeast Tennessee area including Bluefield, Princeton, and Rock West Virginia www.tazewell-orange.com NEW ARTICLES: Just say Mil-Kay the story of Mil-K-Botl (in reply to ncbred) Post #: 7

She wanted the bottle gifts she gave me. Well, didn't let her take my faves. Love my barney and ally. Don't care what anyone says its worth. To me It's priceless. Won't ever lie, leave, or love me, but it will always be there regardless, lol. Here's some of my dew copycats and other dews. Not my whole collection, but don't like fighting the memories digging thru boxes. Really like the white lightnings. Has the Nazi SS bolts on it, sure hope that's not what they were going for.
