Old Raleigh NC Pepsi Bottle - 7/12/2004 7:51:19 PM    1kevin1   Posts: 2 Joined: 7/12/2004 Status: offline I have an old pepsi bottle. I've looked up information to try to find out about this bottle but haven't had too much luck. It is very heavy and only has pepsi cola with the 2 dashes and raleigh nc. There is no other writing on the bottle.The seam on the side does not follow through on the lip. It has several dings and a chip on the lip. Also there is a a small area about the size of a dime where it appears someone rub it with a brillo pad and created a dull scratch. Does anyone know the age and how much this may be worth?

I've got one from Charleston, SC worth about $60. Price varies on every bottle. Most collectors look at the condition, color, and especially what town it's from.

Ayers on page 66: No. RA 10 Age: 1910-12 Height: 8 5/8" Type: Applied top Color: Pale amethyst Front: PC in script over RALEIGH, N.C. inside rectangular slug at base Bottom: AGW 130 Rarity: 3 Value: $100.00 My notes to you about this bottle: There are several variations of Raleigh Pepsi and this one seems to be like yours. The book value is for mint or near mint examples. Your bottle obviously has some condition issues, but is still collectible to anyone who doesn't have this example. Good find and take a second look around where you found this, if you haven't already. _____________________________ 'Meech' Our websites: http://mysite.verizon.net/flaschenjager/bottles.html Member of FOHBC - RABCA - APBCA Editor of 'The Digger' in full color!
