Far out!  Now I not only need to find one ... but "three!"  My broken shard also has some embossing on the top, but obviously the painted labels are different. I really love the one with the question mark. It must have had the various fruir flavors on the cap ... or did it?  Maybe it was some mysterious flavor that could only be discovered by buying one. Lol

Regarding the history of Eastside ... I know nothing! Other than (I believe) it was mabe in San Bernardino, California.  By the way, what city are your's from?

Thanks a lot,

SPB

Here's the part of the story that applies to the "3" bottles. The first bottle was the Eastside Cherry Coke. As you might expect, that did not fly with Coca-Cola. To avoid being sued into oblivion, they very quickly changed the name of their cola drink to Eastside Cherry ?, with the caption below the label "A Cola Drink." That did not fly either, so they immediately changed the name to Eastside Cherry Keeno. As a side note, their flavored pop came in a yellow and blue label that has the same design as the Eastside Cherry Keeno, and it was called Eastside Beverages. The Eastside Cherry Keeno, and the Eastside Beverages are not difficult to find, but the Eastside Cherry Coke, and the Eastside Cherry ? are extremely rare because of a very short lived production. All are from San Bernardino, CA. bottlingco

Far Out! (again) ... Where did you come by that information? And what dates are we talking about? 

P.S. ~ Please don't tell the Kid about any of this. If we happen to find one together (especially one of the rare one's) I'd hate to have to break his arm in order to keep it for my own!   Lol 

Thanks,

SODAPOPBOB,
The bottles are from the 1940's era. Another interesting aspect is the following slogan on the back of both of the previously mentioned bottles: "The use of this bottle for any other beverage is unlawful."
I say interesting, because they used someone else's copywrited name!

... and just when you were saying the other day that you never saw a rattlesnake in Ventura county. Just think if you were walking through the roadside brush where that bruiser came from or was going to?  It's unusual to see one out on the pavement like that in mid-day. They hate being exposed to full sun for very long, and actually are nocturnal (night-time) hunters. Great photos -- but in the last shot where it's coiled, it looks like he had enough of your Tom-Foolery and was letting you know to back off!  (For those not familiar wth western rattlesnakes ... it's a "Diamondback" because of the distinctive "diamond" pattern on its "back.")

The one bottle is an old wine ... common.  The 7up ND/NR is likely from the 1970s/80s ... and, although somewhat common, still a keeper to fill a "Time-Line" gap in a 7up collection. (The date code should be on the bottom).  The Nesbits is older, but hard to date precisely. Most likely 1960s.

That old house you found is cool looking. I especially like the adobe part. It appears to be from an earlier construction, and the rest of the house built around it.

You did good ... Thanks for sharing.  (Where did you go?)

By the way ... did you let the rattler go, or exterminate it?  As you probably know, they are protected by law unless a serious threat to life and limb in a private yard. Even then the state frowns on killing them and would prefer you call someone to remove them.

Appears to be at least 6 rattles ... a "Big One" in my book!

Status: offline 		I realize this thread is supposed to be about soda bottles and not rattlesnakes ... but, what the heck - who isn't facinated by those creepy-crawlers?  Here's a little info on them ... 

The Western Diamondback has an average length of about 3-4 feet. They are found as big as 5 feet, with the largest Western Diamondback ever recorded at 95.5 inches long. =  (7.985 ft./ Call it 8 feet! }}}}}}}}}}}. The males grow larger than the females.

See how long it takes your eye to zero in on the Diamondback in this photo. Now you know why I usually stay out of the brush this time of year.

Status: offline 		This is one of my "anything goes" photos ... and an opportunity to show off a sampling of some of the Southwest stuff I also collect. I have at least twenty-times the number of items shown here, and have been collecting this type of "Old Trading Post" memorabilia for years. I particularily look for old Route 66 items that are marked with a specific trading post/souvenir/curio shop that used to exist in the Southwestern United States. So far as I know there has never been a book focusing on this category of collectibles, and have enough items now to hopefully someday do a book of my own. Of course, that is a lot easier said than done. The arrowhead collection alone is quite valuable, especially the extremely small ones that are no bigger than a thumb-tack. Those are very difficult to come by. I found the majority of them by sifting dirt through a screen way back in the 1960s when I was in the Boy Scouts. I was at least mindful enough here to include a "Big Chief" soda bottle from New Mexico ... plus one of it's accompanying caps. So I guess I'm not entirely off-topic after all.

Status: offline 		It was actually around 7 pm when i drove up on the rattler. I was on my way home. One of the biggest ones I've ever seen.

He got all agro like that because of the cars driving over the top of him. I can't believe he wasn't run over. He didn't rattle at me tho, and another thing, I didn't kill him or anything like that. I don't kill stuff unless it's absolutly necessary.

Status: offline 		Here's a California bottle I overlooked the other day and should be of special interest to TheCaliKid as well as others. It's a "Rancho" by (Rancho Products Co. Riverside, Calif / Bottled by Gaglio Co. Inc. Ontario, Calif.). Riverside and Ontario are both located just east of Los Angeles. It's one of those weird GC bottles and dated 1949. In mint condition like mine it's worth about $40.00+ to a local collector. The other two items in the photo are some more of the Indian artifacts I found back in the 1960s when I was a Boy Scout. The "olla" (clay pot) on the left is likely from the 1870s/80s - and the stone "mano" (Spanish for "hand") on the right dates from about the same period. Manos were used to grind acorns and other foodstuffs like seeds, etc. During my Boy Scout days I found lots of stuff like this. I was either lucky or just had a knack, because most of the time the other boys came up empty handed while I was finding stuff left and right.. I actually recall finding this particular pot by crawling on my belly under some big rocks, and our scout master telling me ... "Bobby, if you get snake bit under there, don't come crying to me!" I guess I never learned my lesson, and to this very day continue to "crawl under things."

Status: offline 		"Howdy Podners"  ...  Oops! I forgot morbious_fod doesn't like catchy western phrases   ... but hopefully he and others will enjoy this sampling of acls from Montana. Plus a little added treat of my Roy Rogers lunch box and thermos from around 1950/52.  Notice on all three bottles there is an image of a "Bucking Broncbuster." I love these truly western bottles, especially the "Circle W Beverages" from Miles City, Mont. (Owens-Illinois / Duraglas 1942). But at present have no clue what the "W" stands for ... "Western" ???  The "Roundup" is from the Montana town by the same name, and also a O-I/D from 1956.  The more common one in the lot is the "Dillon Beverages" from Dillon, Mont. (O-I 1947).  As for the RR lunch box & thermos ... on a scale of 1-10 are a 8.5, and somewhat hard to come by in this condition. I got them at an old book store of all places, and just happened to be in there the very day some lady brought them in and sold them to the dealer. He had no interest in them, nor any idea of their value. I got both box and thermos for a whopping $25.00!  One of the best "steals" I ever made.

                                                   Collectibles Quiz Question ...

    Which do you think are the most valuable?  The three bottles combined , or the lunch box & thermos?

I'm looking for one of the "extremely rare" Roy Rogers soda cans like the one pictured below. It was only produced for a limited time during the 1960s, and distributed by the Continental Beverage Corp., La Jolla, Calif. (La Jolla is a popular beach community located just north of San Diego). I have never once seen one of these cans in the flesh and beginning to think I never will. Please let me know if you ever run across one ... even slightly rusted.

Thanks,

You've probably heard the oldtime saying that in order to get a decent crop of corn it needs to be at least "Knee High by The 4th of July!" Well, I just measured my tallest stalk this morning and it is a whopping 8 feet tall! Several of the ears are about three inches long and should be ready for roasting in about a month. 

                                                          Have a good one!

Status: offline 		                           Here's a couple of "Northwest" bottles from Washington state.

1.   St. Helens Beverages ...  1955 - St. Helens Ice & Beverage Co. - Owens-Illinois/Duraglas. This was long before Mount St. Helens eruped on the morning of May 18, 1980. Incidently, I lived in Astoia, Oregon at the time (about 50 miles west) and was in a commercial dairy milking parlor when the eruption occured. We heard the loud "boom," which was followed about an hour later by falling ash. By the day's end it accumulated to about two inches. It was a total mess until the next rains came about a week or so later and washed it all away. I still have some of the ash I collected in small jars.

2.   Pioneer Beverages ... 1968 - Davenport, Washington (small town about 175 miles east of Seattle) Owens-Illinois. Notice on the lower right portion of label where you will see the zip code 99122. I used to shy away from zip code marked collectibles, thinking they were too new. That is until I discovered the U.S. Postal numbers were first introduced in 1963 ... (*see attached text). 

* By July 1963, a five-digit code had been assigned to every address throughout the country. The first digit designated a broad geographical area of the United States, ranging from zero for the Northeast to nine for the far West. This was followed by two digits that more closely pinpointed population concentrations and those sectional centers accessible to common transportation networks. The final two digits designated small post offices or postal zones in larger zoned cities.

SODA "Boom/Zip/Peachy" BOB   

Values?  ...   St. Helens = $75.00+   ...    Pioneer = $10.00 max (mint condition)   ...   Peaches on tree = Free!
