Looks to me like those old aluminum milk bottles, they had back in the day, that you tried to knocked down at a carnival game. Just my guess

Guess I'm as close to Alabama, as a milk collector gets to Mobile. Then again I don't have any from Bama. Just Fla. La. and Ms.
Dug a deco Pallisers the other day that reads PALLISERS ITS BETTER. I assume its very common. An like most of my finds over there it has a chip right in the front of...
Wonder what the Shiek would pay for a Barq,s Coke? I've heard of local's here asking as much as $2000. Though it would be hard for me to turn loose of one.
Unfortunately, I do not have a picture. It is a typical 10-2-4 embossed DP light green. It is not the more sought after debossed or raised lettering. Thank you!
Out of these Barq's bottles, the Biloxi Artesian Bottling Works w/CocaCola on the shoulder, is my most exspensive soda bottle. You would have a hard time getting one for less than $1,200. A Barq's family member told me someone offered him one for $2,000.
Man, I don't get that kind of stuff from my garden either. Maybe I should plow deeper.LOL
You need any help with that garden I'm right here in Biloxi.[:D] Great finds.

Your cap is correct, but your bottle is not. All the flavored Barq's sodas like strawberry, creme soda, orange, and grape, were bottled in the curved bottles. By that, I mean the ones that curve inward on the bottom half. Your's is straight like the root beer. I drank a lot of the flavored ones...
I'll second that Mike.
I started digging bottles to collect vintage things I could find in the ground and bring them back to life for others to enjoy. I'm not out there trying to dig up money. I actually get bored with my metal detector.[:)] It's the appreciation for the past and history of...
Nice to see another Biloxian on this site. The Bottling Works on the bottom of the green Barqs makes it a little more desireable.
Jerry, No Moon Glo's??? Just kidding......their pretty hard to find. Nice Barq's collection. You have a few I would like to have also. I had an offer to trade a...
Yeah, there is nothing fun about it, but I can't stand knowing where the good stuff is and not going after it. Especially after looking at video's and pictures on this site.[:D] I dig alone with a lot of nerve damage in my right leg. I dig holes 4'w & 5'dp sometimes. If I can do it at my age, in...
