Kentucky Soda Bottles

What looks like a seam down the front of the Murray bottle is actually a crease in the glass. The bottle is early ABM & has seams on both sides of the slug plate. There is another crease part way down the back of the bottle, opposite the crease in the front.Tim

That's very interesting. What a character-bottle.

Like Dr. Wells , Jitney Cola, had a long run in our town. Bear, it must have been a labeled straight side soda, although old local ads shown a embossed bottle. I don't have that one, of about four local embossed sodas. The Reid Horseshoe soda is outstanding! Has a TN cousin, a embossed Horseshoe, also a dead ringer , in my Jackson Bottling Co. soda. Good luck![attachment=august 7 pics 014.JPG]

WestKYDigger, I LOVE that Pepsol bottle. How often do you see those? If you ever run across another I'd love to have it.

j,The only other Pepsol I have seen was bottled in Nashville. If your interested in it, I'll go back to where I think I remember seeing it.Creek,If you come across any West KY bottles (preferably Jackson Purchase area), keep me in mind. I do have a Paris, Tn Pharmacy for possible trade. Is the Jitney Cola related to the Jitney Jungle grocery store chain in Mississippi?

Tim, I'd really only be interested in it if it's from KY. I didn't know how rare they are, but it seems they are a little rarer. Thanks for the offer though.

Yes, Brownsville had a Jitney Jungle too. I see a cool Jitney slug plate SS bottle from Knoxville on ebay occasionally. The JJ sign with a Pepsi logo is still painted on the brick of the original building.

As the sign says: It hits the spot! I just never found the spot , where those Jitney bottles are. The straight side Pepsi, we find locally are from Memphis or Nashville, none were marked with Brownsville.[attachment=10-8-15 002a.JPG]

Do you only collect Pepsi from Kentucky or anywhere? LEON.

I have a Pepsi-Cola single-dot from Corbin, KY in rough shape.
