mountain dew - 7/4/2005 5:45:28 PM    bubbas dad Posts: 1374 Joined: 3/30/2005 From: South Carolina, USA Status: offline i was talking with a lady at the flea market awhile back about bottles and she was telling me about one that has me curious. has anyone ever heard about a small ( 6 or 7 oz) mountain dew. i haven't, but she said that were some out there and that they were real valuable. it got me wondering. _____________________________ john the older i get, the smarter my father gets!

RE: mountain dew - 7/4/2005 11:50:31 PM    acls   Posts: 305 Joined: 6/2/2005 Status: offline The 7 ouncers go for about $250, sometimes more. The clear Barney and Ally's go from $750 on up. The last one on ebay went for over $1000. (in reply to bubbas dad) Post #: 5

RE: mountain dew - 7/6/2005 12:19:37 AM    dshaneb   Posts: 79 Joined: 3/2/2005 Status: offline That clear Barney and Alley is one of the rarest Mountain Dew bottles in existence! It ended at $1802.00! I managed to buy a normal green version of the Barney and Alley of which only forty or so are known to exist. The clear ones are even rarer! It's amazing that the seller found it at an antique flea market. I have an 8 ounce version of the more common Hillbilly bottle and a few of the newer design. The original Barney and Alley's were 7 oz and go for $200.00 or more. Shane Here is a pic with my Barney and Alley in it: Attachment (1) (in reply to bubbas dad) Post #: 8

RE: mountain dew - 7/6/2005 12:50:21 AM    whiskeyman Posts: 2020 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline The Barney & Ally are outta Knoxville Tenn...and they aren't as scarce as it's believed. The real scarce Mountain Dew bottles would be two from Tri City Beverage Co of Johnson City Tenn...one is 7 ounce and one is 22 (or 26?) ounce with shoulders...Now those are scarce. I coulda bought the Barney & Ally back in the early 90's for $15...I passed up several over the years for a bit over that. I thought that $15.00 was too much then, and I think people are paying too much now. Just my opinion...

Dew "Party Jug". They go for over $3000.00. They're neat large ACLs but not that nice and I'm a diehard Dew drinker. We call it green coffee. _____________________________ 'Meech' Our websites: http://mysite.verizon.net/flaschenjager/bottles.html Member of FOHBC - RABCA - APBCA Editor of 'The Digger' in full color!

Owner was looking for it's "value"...at that time, none of us actually knew...LOL. _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc...and, Friends of Steeles Creek Nature Center & Park President: Bristol Tenn-Va Bottle Club Author of: Spirits & Medicinal Bottles of Bristol,TN-VA.

RE: mountain dew - 7/6/2005 1:33:40 AM    Flaschenjager Posts: 1141 Joined: 12/21/2002 From: Central Virginia - USA Status: offline Hey Whiskey - Did you at least know it was big bucks for one of these at the time? If I ever located one, I guess I'd have to incase and light it from all directions and park my deaf but vicious watchdog at it's base for added protection. I guess finding one with screwcap and contents would fetch a bit more. The hillbilly dew calendar is pretty cool too! _____________________________ 'Meech' Our websites: http://mysite.verizon.net/flaschenjager/bottles.html Member of FOHBC - RABCA - APBCA Editor of 'The Digger' in full color!

RE: mountain dew - 7/6/2005 10:26:24 PM    whiskeyman Posts: 2020 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline MEECH...we all knew it was a "toughie" and would bring big bucks...just had no idea of what to tell the guy in $$$$'s.... A couple years ago a Mountain Dew exhibit was on display in the Carroll Reece Museum in Johnson City TN....It was later moved and set-up in Knoxville for a while. I have about 20+ pics from that exhibit ,(the above are 3 of them). Youns want to see ??? If so, I'll start another thread with just pics....may not get around to it tonight though, as I noticed the pics are kinda big when I posted the 1st one above...I had to reduce it and repost... _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc...and, Friends of Steeles Creek Nature Center & Park President: Bristol Tenn-Va Bottle Club Author of: Spirits & Medicinal Bottles of Bristol,TN-VA.

RE: mountain dew - 7/16/2005 3:41:44 PM    whiskeyman Posts: 2020 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline MIKE...early 1950's...Tri City Beverage Co. also had their logo on a clear bottle like that one. The Dew is pretty rare....Last one I heard about sold for $1000+ about 3-4 years ago...and they ain't gone down. Have a funny story about an old lady and Tri City Bev Co. Roger Garland , the former Manager told me this one... Seems this older lady up in Butler Tenn. called the Bev Co Office one day, (justa few years ago). She asked Roger if they still took back "returns?" Roger asked her what do you mean? She says, I have some bottles and cases from your bottling company and I wanna know if you still give back deposits on them. Roger told me he about cracked up...:) Anyway,he asks how did she come by these bottles and cases. She tells him her husband used to operate a grocery store in the area many years ago,and she had all these bottles and cases stored in the garage and wanted him to get out there and get them out of her way...and give her the deposit back... He said he'd send someone out to look into it ...right away he sends one of the truck drivers up to her house. Driver returns with 3 of the large Mountain Dew bottles pictured above , assorted smaller ones and a couple dozen Dr Enuf bottles and cases. Roger did tell me he had instructed the driver to give her more than just her deposit back on the bottles... < Message edited by whiskeyman -- 7/16/2005 3:48:17 PM > _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc...and, Friends of Steeles Creek Nature Center & Park President: Bristol Tenn-Va Bottle Club Author of: Spirits & Medicinal Bottles of Bristol,TN-VA.
