1940s paper label Pepsi collection
No disrespect but I'm always real nervous about labels that look new perfect and are supposedly 80 plus years old. The earliest bottles shown date from about 1940 or so. The 50 anniversary bottle is newer and worth a lot less. I have a hard time accepting that the paper labels haven't aged or...- Burkenhill

Old Coke, Coca Co and 7 up
Well said, Canadian. Nothing more annoying than somebody asking for an opinion then getting their shirt in a knot because they don't like your opinion.- Burkenhill

Pepsi paper labels value....
Hi Leon. Yes, I mentioned your name regarding your RWB, single dot, 2 Full Glasses paper label Pepsi bottle. Yes, I'm still interested in it. Have you decided on a price you'll sell it for? Rick in BC- Burkenhill

Pepsi paper labels value....
Hi Keith, I have to say, regardless that some of the caps are incorrect, those are really beautiful examples of Pepsi paper label bottles. I'm drooling as I look at the pictures again. Like so many things in life there are variations to most rules. Pepsi-Cola had half a dozen different paper...- Burkenhill

Pepsi paper labels value....
The Pepsi-Cola company standardized their bottle in 1941 which henceforth had Pepsi Cola vertically embossed 6 times around the shoulder. Bruce is correct. When Pepsi standardized the bottle they also changed from the red and yellow caps to the new red white and blue patriotic caps which also...- Burkenhill

Orange Crush - US "Mae West" Bottles, 1955 to 1959 (First 5 Years)
You motivated me to gather together my Mae West bottles to see if I have any information for you. I don't think I have with the possible exception of the small 7 oz bottle. Tiny little bottle! Both of the 1955 bottles only have a 5 where the date code is. I don't think that likely would...- Burkenhill

7oz 7up 1954-1979
Thank you so very much for posting this information. My 7up collection is mostly restricted to pre-1954 and because of that I'm unfamiliar with the changes you have outlined up to 1979. Very interesting. Rick in BC- Burkenhill

Is this Pepsi-Cola bottle from the 1930s?
This is from the 1930's and as late as early 1941 when Pepsi standardized their bottle to what is called the wave bottle with Pepsi-Cola in embossed script vertically 6 times around the neck and shoulder. There are a number of examples of bottles like yours in James C. Ayers's book, Pepsi:Cola...- Burkenhill

The Rest of My 7Up Collection
The only Swim bottles in my collection that have no neck label (ACL or embossed) are from 1945, 1946 and 1947, though most of them are from 1945. I don't know if there was a gap in production after bottles with the embossed 7up or U7P where changed out for new bottles but perhaps they didn't...- Burkenhill

The Rest of My 7Up Collection
Hi Iggyworf, I'm happy to, though the bubble pattern isn't totally helpful. There are the 3 bubbles shown on the left side of the logo as would typically be seen on an 8 bubble logo or bottle. the rest of the crest is effectively zoomed in and it only shows a total of 5 bubbles. I am...- Burkenhill

The Rest of My 7Up Collection
With all these wonderful 7up collections shown, I couldn't help but get in on the act as well to show some of my collection which is of 1953 and earlier bottles (swimsuit lady bottles). I also have collected many of the cartons over the years to put them in, including some early ones. Other...- Burkenhill

Paper label Pepsi
Pepsi used paper label on their bottles regularly in the 1940's and with some bottlers into the very early 1950's. The one you pictured has much of the neck label missing which diminishes its value substantially. Pepsi used a number of different paper labels. The one shown in your picture on...- Burkenhill

Unknown variation of 7up bottle
You do have an interesting bottle with a number of things happening. I’ll try not to hijack your question with any unrelated pictures or subject deviations. Yes, Glenshaw Glass used the letter on the reinforcing ring of the bottle which became a reliable dating code. According to Bill...- Burkenhill
