Status: offline 		But even the Five Points isn't the find of the day. The find of the day is a crate actually, to be exact it is a Frostie Root Beer crate from Johnson City, Tenn. To be more specific it is from the "Tri-City Bott. Co." of Johnson City, Tenn. That was never the name of the company, the name was actually Tri-City Beverage. One of the tougher to find crates from Tri-City, since they standardized to the green stencil on wood "Tri-City" crates not too long after these, this crate was a find indeed, and I do love my tough to find crates. There is a Mountain Dew, and a Dr. Enuf crate from Tri-City beverage as well, but I have yet to find one of them.

Oh I thought your Johnson City was in good shape. I may have to go with my original plan of keeping the Knoxville, and trading my JC Five points to someone who's been drooling over it for a while, I just like the design myself, and I don't have to have every Johnson City bottle. I was hoping your JC was in pretty good shape and I wouldn't have to trade him mine. LOL!

You dog. Where did you find that Wards Orange Crush? Is it the greenish version or the blue? I stopped by White Pine but he was long gone by the time I got there. Shoulda left earlier I guess. LOL! I was great too meet you as well, hope to see you again at Grey.

Status: offline 		Been a decent week for bottles. I got some from ebay, some from Whiskyman, and some from a new source.




A Banner Beverages from the Banner Cola Corporation of Christiansburg, VA, a Grapette variation I've been looking for from Johnson City, Tenn., a Ned's from the Coca-Cola Bottling Works of Rockford, Tenn., and a Players from no where for the Red Rock Collection. The last three I got from Whiskeyman and the Baner was from ebay.

Status: offline 		A new source offered these three to me today. A mint Bluefield Brewing Company bottle from Bluefield, WVA, a 1930 Nu-Icy from Wytheville, VA (unfortunately it has a shallow chip on the rings that I didn't see), and a Bluefield, VA 1955 Royal Crown that I needed pictures of for the site.

What's worse is it was one of those sneaky ones. It's not like I would leave a bottle as tough to find as that one behind chip or no chip anyway.

Charlie has that one up. I know it shows a 7-up on the jacket; however, I still haven't seen an example with Marion on it. Did see some Richlands 7-ups today; however, the cat wanted far too much for them.

Status: offline 		Actually from top right to bottom right counter clockwise you have a Marion Bottling Works Hutch, a Bob-o-link, an Orange Crush clear krinkle, a 7oz Blueridge Ginger Ale, a Tall amber Orange Crush 6oz, an Old Colony, a Mil-Kay, the aforementioned 7-up, a West Jefferson NC Mountain Dew 10oz, one of those Dr. Pepper Bottle Cap Acls, a Pepsi 2 full glasses red white and blue, and for some reason a Mexican Pepsi twist style bottle.

Yep. You have to remember that Marion Bottling Company bought out the Dr. Pepper Bottling Company of Marion in 1971, and they took over the Dr. Pepper and 7-up franchises of said company at that time, so it could be a Marion Bottling Company 7-up crate. I'll have to look at the date on the crate sometime just to see what era it's from.
