White House bottles - 7/11/2010 4:16:19 PM    morbious_fod   Posts: 3924 Joined: 3/4/2007 From: The backwoods of the backwoods, Virginia Status: offline Ok White House collectors maybe you can help me identify these bottles. The story behind them is that my mother went to an auction yesterday and got these in a lot of miscellaneous items. There are eight of them in total all having the same date on the bottom aside from one. Six of them have yellow White House caps, but none have labels, if they ever did. The dates appear to be 1957 and 1961, the majority being the former. The bottle makers mark is the I in the O which of course the late 1950's forward mark for Owens Illinois, and a couple of the caps had 10 cents stamped on them. I know very little to absolutely nothing about White House; however, I do know that with all my antique shop hunting I have spotted very few of these. Are they that undesirable, rare, or worthless?

I'm sure without they aren't much pumpkin, but maybe you can get a couple of bucks outta them in your booth. I'll bring them to you next time I'm down. _____________________________ 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 whiskeyman) Post #: 7

Do me some good to make some room. Have no way to know what they are, or what year. Good luck with yours! (in reply to morbious_fod) Post #: 8
