Status: offline 		They are indeed quite mint. That's part of the reason I grabbed them. Thanks for the compliments.

I seen enough of those LGBs in that dump that when I found one I couldn't resist for long. So how tough is that Knoxville drug bottle to find?

Status: offline 		The LGB is a nice one! Kind of those obscure deals with little gimicks. They produced their soda and the people liked it! I like to think of the capital letters standing for - Love Greyhound Buses, like the ones that would have rolled through West Jefferson, stopping and letting some thirsty passengers off to grab a drink. Or taking one on the bus with them...and traveling.

Status: offline 		Interesting thought; however, I'm thinking that it may have something to do with the guy who owned the company during this period. The odd thing is that it is marked Jefferson, NC instead of West Jefferson. I'm wondering if Dr. Pepper of West Jefferson had a competitor on the other end of town at one point. I think this because I have a Dr. Pepper bottle from around the same time period that plainly says West Jefferson NC on the bottle. Of course Jefferson and West Jefferson are essentially two towns, they still show up on the maps as such, much in the same way that Tazewell, VA and North Tazewell were before they combined in 1963. I will have to do some digging on this one, because it has piqued my interest.

Status: offline 		Finally found a Jefferson Club Ginger Ale on the bay. I'd been wanting one of these for a while and finally found one. Me and those green bottles. I have a 1958 clear version, and I may pick up the 8oz version just for kicks.

Status: offline 		An odd pick up from last Saturday. I have a small collection of extract bottles and love pictorial ones, so I picked up this one on a whim. It's actually about 8 inches tall, just judging by the 10oz 7-up that was sitting in front of it when I bought it. I'm sure it's uber common; however, I felt $6 wasn't too much.

Status: offline 		Of course what makes it interesting is that it is from the small town of Erwin, Tennessee, which is famous or infamous for the hanging of Mary the Elephant in 1916. A fact that most Erwinians would much rather never hear about again.

Interesting Variation on the CV. I bid on a Five Points from newton, NC a little while back on the bay, but lost it. I've started to pick up interesting acls recently, and so far I like it. Are the LGBs all that hard to find?

The 6 1/2 Dietetic DRP is tougher to find than it's 10oz cousin. I recently scaled down my Drp collection, and have decided to stick to the 6 and 6 1/2oz sizes. That is why I had been wanting it for so long.
