A Diet Mountain Dew (ebay), a Sun-Rise Beverages, Double Cola salt shaker, a Grapette 7oz from Johnson City, TN (all three local), and a 8oz "King Size" from Johnson City, TN (ebay).

Status: offline 		I have a pretty large variety of crown top sodas stored in plastic milk crates . Bought an entire truckload of them stacked top to bottom , front to back in my half ton pickup with a camper shell attached on it  a good many years ago now . I sold over a hundred on ebay year before last . Still have a bunch of them , but have no idea what without looking at them . They have been out in the building ever since I bought them . I do not know if there is any Lime Colas out there or not .

To be honest I don't know. I really need to resurrect my failed attempt at categorizing them. I would say it would have to be at least two hundred or so, mostly locals. I don't collect Lime Colas as a brand I just liked that one because it was unusual with the cream and red label and being 12oz. I have two of the 7oz versions from 1946; however, they are part of my local collection, being from Pennington Gap VA.





One of the aforementioned Lime Cola 7ozs from Pennington Gap

Status: offline 		Thanks Morb , that's a good size collection . I kind of wish I had not sold off the ones I put on eBay some time back , I had quite a collection of them , and still do for that matter . I was also quite surprised as to what some of those crown tops brought on eBay . Like you , I can not say how many of them are out there . I really like the sodas , but am more into the hutches and squats . Wish I had as many of them as I do the crown top sodas ! I may try and get them all out when the weather warms up again and take some pics and post them little at a time . Here is a picture of a bottle I have had sitting in the house for a good while for some reason . Sunny Brook is a product of Pepsi - Cola .

That Sunny Brook is a nice bottle. There's one of those and a green one on Ebay right now.

To be honest I don't know there's no indication of where they are from on the bottle and I didn't see a matching crate anywhere around. You might want to plan a trip up there in a little while though. He took me to where he had a bunch of bottles and while searching through them pulled out a couple from Asheville, NC and what appears to be a straight side Orange Crush from Knoxville, TN; however, it could just as easily be one missing the acl as well. Here was my best find of the day, I'd never seen an actual Wyrick Spring bottle from Crockett, VA before; however, I knew they had to exist. Imagine my surprise at spotting this one on the shelf.

Status: offline 		Those are outside of my little area; however, I've never heard of those names before, but that doesn't mean all that much. I hadn't heard of Crockett, VA until I started collecting and researching. Looking at the map I can see that the town is on the railroad in that area and a lot of the earlier bottling companies were started near the tracks in this area so anything is possible.

Status: offline 		Thanks.  I knew they were outside your area, but they are "kinda" close.  I'm sure South Hill had something.  I'd really like a hutch from the area, but I'd probably settle for anything.  A soda would be nicer than a pharmacy bottle though, since I already collect sodas.  I'll let you know if I ever come across something from SW VA.

Status: offline 		Having not dug enough on Saturday to please me and being completely bored today I took off for Wytheville, VA just to kill some time and maybe buy something. I actually bought two bottles.




First of which is the bottle that I have been eyeballing ever since I started collecting over two years ago. I always thought the price was a bit high at nearly $40, but having spent two years in this hobby and never spying another one like it, I decided to pick it up. It is a 32 oz Nehi Sparkling Beverages bottle from Pulaski, VA. Not actually in my area; however, it falls into the semi-local category.

Status: offline 		Now this one just goes to my being a bit crazy and my fond memories of the long since gone local Piggly Wiggly in Honaker, VA when I was a kid. It's not too often you see a store brand soda ND/NR still full with a paper label.




Looks like it's a 1976 from the bottom.

Good lord no. That soda has to be over five months old now, plus even after cleaning you never know what has been growing in those bottles. LOL!
