A Cott Low Calorie Beverages bottle from Tri-City Beverage. This is one of their toughest bottles to find apart from some of the Dews.  Attachment (1) _____________________________ My website chronicling the soda bottling companies of the Southwest Virginia or Northeast Tennessee area including Bluefield and Princeton West Virginia www.tazewell-orange.com NEWEST ARTICLE: The story of Lonesome Pine Beverages.

I didn't even know these existed. This one shares the same layout as the bottle cap bottle I have from the same town and being a 1956 it's not surprising.

Finding a variation of that same bottle, same year and all except this one doesn't have the contents straddling the main body label.

Soon as I got there it started raining on me but I braved it and picked up these three, after chucking 10oz cokes left and right, I came up with these three lesser seen bottles, in this dump anyway. I'm still amazed at the lack of Mountain Dews in this dump, but alas.

He said he had a few in back that he had been collecting for a while. He took me back there and pulled out a file cabinet drawer revealing about fifteen bottles. Some where newer commemoratives, and most of the actual older bottles were just too far gone to be bothered with, except one. He refused to sell me the one bottle I was truly interested in unless I bought them all. I hate lugging home a ton of bottles I don't care about for one; however, that one was a tougher bottle to find in the local area, so I offered the guy $20, and he upped it five bucks. Sorrow over the nearly wasted trip up there, and a desire to get something out of the trip, I accepted. The coke commemorative bottles were full; however, the caps were too rusted (one even had a leak), and I emptied them. Nothing too interesting here, although I had never seen the Kentucky one before.

Lotta-Cola was bottled locally in Bluefield at one time; however, I've never seen a Bluefield version. The other is a sad looking 12oz Royal Crown which I am going to give to a friend of mine who likes RCs.

Those St. Pauls can be found in this area for $10 or more, so that helps the value of the lot. So what what this amazingly awesome bottle that prompted me lugging home fifteen pieces of junk? A Coca-Cola 6oz star soda water...from Richlands, VA, I paid more that twenty five for my first one and it was in worse shape, so all, while not awesome, is acceptable. I really wish he would have just sold me the one bottle for twenty and be done with it though, now I gotta get rid of more bottles. What a problem to have? LOL!

The guy does live within a mile of the old plant and was living there when it was in operation, so who knows...and a 3-C Nectar from Winchester VA. Unfortunately I saw one in better condition after I had bid on this one and couldn't resist the upgrade, so now I have two, glad I like 3-C Nectars.  Attachment (1) _____________________________ My website chronicling the soda bottling companies of the Southwest Virginia or Northeast Tennessee area including Bluefield and Princeton West Virginia www.tazewell-orange.com NEWEST ARTICLE: The story of Lonesome Pine Beverages.

A variation of course. This is the 10oz Sun Flower Beverages I bought recently. The interesting part is that while during this period they were bottling the brand for The Tip Corporation, this 1950 has Dr. Pepper Bottling Company Marion Va embossed on the bottom. I found out about this one a year or so ago when on a dig with us in Bristol, our very own Madman dug up the bottom of a 1955 Sunflower with the very same embossing on the bottom, which at the time was my first clue to Dr. Pepper bottling for Tip in Marion. Now I finally have this variation, reserved shout for joy.  Attachment (1) _____________________________ My website chronicling the soda bottling companies of the Southwest Virginia or Northeast Tennessee area including Bluefield and Princeton West Virginia www.tazewell-orange.com NEWEST ARTICLE: The story of Lonesome Pine Beverages.

It's funny how a small piece of broken glass can help you figure out a mystery, or pose even more. That's what I love about this hobby.

Hoping for old bottles I found a lot of dishes and other various glassware that this gentleman's mother had collected throughout her life. I looked and finally found something I was interested in, or was at the very least a "Hey that's neat" Item. It was the Salt dish on the right, it is quite thick, and has bubbles in it and I'm thinking that maybe it is turn of the century to at least the 1920's. Seems too thick for depression glass, but then again who knows, I don't so I'm asking the professionals, how old is this thing? and was it worth picking up? The Old Colony is a replacement Canadian bottle, the other one had too many chips in it to satisfy me. Aside from one flea bite this one is in great shape.

In fact I probably made the find that made not only this years trip worth it but last years as well, but more on that later. First up is a group of nice bottles for the collection. The Orange Crush on the left is an interesting early Knoxville variation I hadn't seen before and aside from a couple of small bruises was in very nice condition. The one beside that was one of the finds of the day, and King Cola from Norton, VA. I had one of these already but mine had several large chips on it. The last one was a bottle I thought would replace the chipped one I had already, unfortunately while cleaning it I found a chip near the bottom. Still better than the one I own, but not the pinnacle I was hoping for, it is a 1924 Orange Crush from Marion, VA, which is about a year after they started bottling.

The Sun Drop 7oz replaces the one I traded, and the Frostie is the taller and thinner variation 1955 Frostie Root Been from Johnson City that I have been looking for.  Attachment (1) _____________________________ My website chronicling the soda bottling companies of the Southwest Virginia or Northeast Tennessee area including Bluefield and Princeton West Virginia www.tazewell-orange.com NEWEST ARTICLE: The story of Lonesome Pine Beverages.

It's a Five Points from Knoxville, Tenn. I wasn't interested in a specific town and just like the acl design.
