Since there was a truly rare NDNR Mountain Dew 1pint bottle offered for $400, people are asking hundreds for the common 10 oz version.
On FB Marketplace, (not the same caliber) there is someone asking $5000 for a few 2001 retro style Faygo bottles. I told her, they say 1907 on them, but they...
It seems like flea bay is filled with speculators and not bottle sellers. Common bottles are listed for ten times their possible value because of one similar rarity listed. Shipping is off the charts too. Kind of takes the fun out of browsing.
Well, what can you say about the Pepsi and RC bottles? They are souvenir schedule bottles from UT and ETSU from 1975. I’ve seen many more of the Pepsis from different universities. They were designed to be saved and they have no significant value I’m aware of.

I remember when I first got interested in bottles. It wasn't that long ago. When a "ghost sign" of Faygo Orange Pop was uncovered on a building in Detroit, I became fascinated with the old design of something so familiar, that I had never seen before. I searched eBay until I was able to acquire...

I was just wondering, are these cans open from the bottom, or are they full? I can’t see why someone would have thought back then to open it from the bottom and save the cans. I never knew about Lift by Vernor’s. It was *just* before my time.
Because of Vernor’s long history, I’ve never been very interested in their ACLs. They stuck with the same design for decades. This is an interesting one.
I believe the dates on that type of bottle are marked vertically on the side of the bottle, in the narrow portion near the bottom. A paper label bottle, possibly as new as the nineties judging from that bottom.
I found the link to the 7up article. Thanks, Bill Lockhart. Cecil Munsey did not create this one -
