I had to stop myself from brand collecting. Now for some new stuff. I know what you're thinking, that thar ain't no bottle. Of course you are very correct, that's Dr. Morbious Frankenstein's future project for this winter. I've had a thing for old radios for a long time, a few years back I ran across a book on restoring the electrical components of a radio, and since I didn't want to risk screwing up my 1947 Motorola consol, which still works but could use some refreshing, with my first attempt. I ran across this little non working beauty a couple of weekends ago. It has all of it's components, including knobs which are usually broke or gone, and all for ten bucks. If I fry it I won't care too much at that price. Insert evil laugh here.

Of course my latest "Hey that's neat" item to turn into a small collection is soda cans, actually Mountain Dew cans to be specific. Today I stumbled onto these for a buck each. Not too bad. I couldn't resist the Dr. Pepper. Why do I do this to myself? I don't know.

First off while checking out the yard sale just below my house, I happened upon the yard sale of a man who tears down old barns. As you can guess there were a couple of things lurking around. First was this which Charlie tells me may be a bitters bottle, if so then this is my first bitters. Price $1.

This one isn't. It is applied top with a faint mold seam that stops just past the shoulder.

The other two were dug up in a local dump. I picked it up with another bottle for five bucks at the local flea market.

E. combault's Caustic Balsam, the blue one, is another bottle that I got off of the yard sale guy for $1. While the green Whitmore is the other bottle I purchased with the Hinds for five. The Balsam still had a lot of very sticky goop which took about a half an hour to shift with copper pieces and Gojo (which works amazingly well on these tar like substances).

Left to right theres a patent d Coca Cola from Bristol, VA with only the slightest hint of casewear, a Dad's half gallon embossed No Deposit bottle (we really don't see these much in this area and when you do they run five bucks or more), and finally a 1943 Pepsi-Cola bottle with Marion, VA embossed on the bottom. Which means I now have the 1943, 1944, and 1946 versions of this bottle; however, this one has something odd that the other two don't, one of those nibs that holds a bottle for the acl process. Knowing that Marion didn't use the ACLs, with the exception of the Fountian Syrups, until 1947 (they ran an ad announcing the switch) I find it odd that this one has one, yet there is absolutely no ghosting, and it doesn't appear to have been buried in the ground. When I get a Fountain Syrup from Marion then I can check the bottom of it and see if it matches.

I have aquired quite a few of them over the years. Yesterday I ran across a new one, it's a Ma's from New Jersey. It's dated 1957 and I like the combination of the acl with the embossing. I've always held a sneaking liking to this brand's bottles; however, never bothered because without being local, most just didn't appeal to me. This one threw me over the edge of doubt by being a quart, I couldn't resist, esspecially after spying the $3.95 price tag. The other is a Mission Beverages bottle from New Jersey as well, it's a 12oz squat bottle dated 1953. I have quite a few Mission Beverages bottles from the local area; however, I just like this one, and at $2.75 how could I argue?  Attachment (1) < Message edited by morbious_fod -- 7/12/2009 1:44:04 PM > _____________________________ 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 #: 95

There was indeed an Orange Kist Company in Johnson City which evolved into a Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company around 1937. What intrigued me was that this shard appeared to be from one of those early 12oz paper label Pepsi bottles where the company who ordered them had them custom embossed with their name. This same company would do this again in the 1940's with Tarver embossed on the shoulder. I started thinking that maybe this is an earlier version and that they were bottling Pepsi before officially changing their name, much in the vain of Marion Orange Crush Bottling Company. I didn't expect to find what I found yesterday.

Now the only thing to do is to try to find out if they were indeed bottling Pepsi-Cola under the Orange Kist Co. name. I may never been able to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is from there barring an actual photo from the time period proving a connection, or a paper label intact version surfacing, but I have a feeling my theory is sound on this one. I guess it's time to hit the Johnson City newpapers.

A squat 10, 2, 4 Drp nd/nr, a Knoxville, Tenn. Chero-Cola with a very thick base, and a new Reifs Special to replace the cruddier one I bought two years ago. Reifs Special was distributed in Bristol during 1917, and I'll pick up stuff like that which is loosly assoiated with the area from time to time. I may even wind up doing a page on the Distributed drinks of the area, with ads and such. Now I gotta find a bevo bottle. LOL!
