Dr. Pepper scarce variant?

[crozet86]

I just got back from some bottle swapping with some other collectors.I am not a big collector of acl soda bottles but this one caught my eye.It is the Dr. Pepper 10-2-4 bottle from Lynchburg,Va.It seems to me that i saw one of these variants on Ebay a few months ago and it did quite well in price.Does anyone know if this is the variant i saw?I have lived near Lynchburg all my life and i have never seen this variant with the layout of the 10-2-4. Also this is a 10 oz. size.Thanks for any info.

Looks like a variation of the Marion, VA bottles I found a little while back.

This one is closer to the variation you posted. Unfortunately it appears that your bottle has seen a bit too much sunlight over the years, but great find.

These were the first two I saw from my town as well; however, there was a bottle cap version in 1955 that I own. It seems that the town labeling carried over from them, and then were dropped at some point.

LOL! You did notice that both pictures I posted are variants of each other? Not the contents on each side of the main circle on the one and the absance of the same on the other one. The crazy thing is that they are the same year and glass maker, must have been a running change.
