RE: new to the Morbious Fod collection - 8/24/2009 1:26:20 AM    morbious_fod   Posts: 4020 Joined: 3/4/2007 From: The backwoods of the backwoods, Virginia Status: offline I've gotten a few items from ebay and a couple more from my travels to Galax, VA last weekend and Ashville, NC this weekend. One of two bottles I found in Ashville is this eight bubble 7-up from the Dr. Pepper Bottling Company of Atlanta, GA which is embossed on the bottom of the bottle. This is my first eight bubble and at $12 I just couldn't resist. I also got a tall 6oz amber Orange Crush from Johnson City, Tenn., and a couple of records, turns out Asheville antique shops are pretty dry when it comes to bottles.

The only real problem with the bottle is some mineral staining on one side of the bottle. You really can't tell it in these pictures, but I know it's there taunting me. LOL! BTW it's a 1941.

It is a bottle from the Putnam Bottling Works; however, there is no town listed, and the only Putnam I can find associated with bottling is in Connecticut. It appears the the propriaters name is embossed below the company name. Anyone know D. C. Park? But being in good shape aside from the staining I couldn't resist this tombstone slug hutch for $8.

It's been a dry couple of weekends; however, with the bi-annual Hillsville flea market coming up this may change.

I spent the week on vacation and was either researching in far flung Lee County VA or not quite as far flung Marion, VA. One thing I did do was go to Johnson City to meet up with a guy who had some bottles for sale. He sold me the Dr. Pepper (from Marion, Va) and the Orange Crush (from Johnson City, Tenn). I found the Red Rock (no town name) in Gate City Va on the way back from Lee county and the Cheerwine from Salisbury, NC in Kingsport on the same journey.

Actually when I bought it I thought it was from Charlotte, NC, but I just wanted a script Lemon Kola. Beside it is an upgrade Marion, VA Old Colony bottle.

A Double Grape bottle from Lee, and a Tenn-Cola from Don, both from Knoxville, Tenn.

A carrier for Lonesome Pine Beverages of Norton, VA. I actually bought three, I couldn't resist a local brand's carrier.

Dews at.  $200 on the tag.  Really like that Lemon Kola and Double Grape. Is that a Smile sample a few posts up?  I saw one at Hillsville this weekend with $100 on it.

C. Layman. The regular J. C. Laymans are around, I may have an extra in my own collection, but now that I think about it I may have donated it to the local historical society. We've been digging in a dump that has a bunch of those broken. If I find a whole one I'll let you know. I take it you collect Mint Colas? That isn't the sample mini version, that smile is the 2 1/2 oz version of the bottle. A Barney & Ally huh. We came upon a guy who was loading up on Sunday and he had a bunch of Mountain Dews for fairly high prices, I bet you got your bottles from him. He was set up in the area up the steps in the VFW flea market. < Message edited by morbious_fod -- 9/7/2009 4:08:03 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 ncbred) Post #: 137

The "Lee" Beverages is a must for a good ACL collection. Hey didn't they invent 7UP in Marion? No I'm afraid Marion can't claim to have invented everything. They already claim to have been the home of Mountain Dew. I bet you don't find a Marion, VA 7-UP in that dump. I honestly think that Dr. Pepper bottling company picked up the brand after they stopped putting names on the bottles. After seeing all the lists for the local bottles of the area, I seriously doubt that one exists. < Message edited by morbious_fod -- 9/10/2009 3:04:17 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 DEWtheDIG) Post #: 140
