I thought it looked like the right time period. For some reason Sprite decided to put out bottles with various national parks embossed on the bottom. _____________________________ 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 TJSJHART) Post #: 282

I'm a person who rarely stays at home and has much more fun on the hunt than cooling my heals. So I went to Sevierville yesterday, and today I hit the Bluff City flea market. While I did obtain a couple of locals one in trade, and one for a buck today, the majority that I bought were either destined for one of the brand collections, or "Hey that's neat" items. The find of the weekend would have to be the pre-arranged purchase of this Dr. Enuf amber bottle paper label still filled, the bottle cap says it is from Dad's Bottling Company of Pittsburgh, PA, which is the very same company that is listed on my Dr. Enuf Cola cap.

I found it at a local antique shop for $5, and thought it looked old with it's hand tooled mouth.

I need the Kickapoo for the Dew imitators collection, and have wanted a nice Quicky for a while now, also I think Quicky might also be counted among the Dew imitators.

The one on the left is a squat orange peel version, first I had seen, with the company name in a ring around the heel. The one next to that is an Epping of Louisville, KY earlier version with the same name around the heel variation. Epping's brother in law McCabe operated a branch plant for the company in Bluefield, VA; however, I doubt this one was used there, but it's a great variation for the collection. I also picked up a no town name Ski-Hi just to have an example for the display, and the Fruit Squeeze is from Canada. Unfortunately I lost the Orange Crush I was trying to combine shipping on and ended up with this one; however, I like the design.

CO. Inc." which is writtend in large letters in the back. The neck acl is what really attracted me to this one, unfortunately while the white is great condition, the red shield has long since deteriorated. Still a neat bottle. Next is one I have been thinking of buying for a long time. Of all the non-Grapette/Tip brands that come in this type bottle, I liked this Million Dollar Grape the best; however, the $15 price tag and other more needed bottles prevented me buying it. It is from Illinois. The next is listed as rare in the acl book that I bought from the Painted label club a while back, it is an Arky from Arkedelphia, Arkansas. I thought it was neat, unfortunately it was capped and I didn't see the lip chip....grrrr. The last doesn't have a town name it's so early for the company; however, from it's later siblings I know it is from the Raleigh Coca-Cola bottling company of Beckley, WVA. I have purposefully by passed the later blue and white versions of this brand; however, I couldn't pass this one up this time.

I couldn't resist this Dr. Enuf error bottle.

I found one of my local bottle obessions. I've been hunting one of these for a while, not because it is a November 1915 pat Coca-Cola from Bristol, Va....

It reminds me of the "Bristol VA - Tenn A Good Place to Live" sign which celebrates it's centennial this year.  Attachment (1) < Message edited by morbious_fod -- 2/22/2010 12:56:05 AM > _____________________________ 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 morbious_fod) Post #: 292

Let's start this off with a flea market find that will catch the interest of Madman. A Howell & Fox hutch from Knoxville, Tenn. Looks like a fairly early one.

It is a very early Pop Kola with Property of L. L. Rice embossed on the bottom. Lawrence L. Rice was the propritor of the Rice Bottling Company of Roanoke, VA, Johnson City, Tenn. (though this bottle predates this business), and another branch plant in Jacksonville, Florida. I have a feeling that this one is from Roanoke, as this is the only plant I know of where he bottled Pop Kola.
