That's rare. I have a clear Pepsi 10 ounce bottle of the same design. Never seen one in amber. Doesn't look like it was baked either. I agree with McGlass. They can keep the one on Etsy for $100.00.
Oh yes. I'm aware of this version. I just saw it recently. But I don't see Ya-hooo! on it anywhere. But I still love how it looks. I think there is huge interest in 1970's and 1960's NDNR bottles now. People who grew up seeing these now want to own them again.
Thank you for the correction and information on this. So the "0" on the heel stands for 1970? And the " l__l " mark must stand for May/June? I don't think I've ever seen the U.S. version. And if I did, I'd probably try to buy it ASAP. It's times like this where I wish original forum post titles...
I see it has a keystone logo on the bottom, meaning it was made by Knox Glass. Is there a letter inside the keystone? This can help determine the years it might have been made, depending on which Knox factory made it.
I think the Etsy seller is definitely overcharging too. However that bottle on Ebay that sold for $21.50 total had a chip in it, which is probably why it went so cheap.
Wow, I've never paid that much for any bottle. Probably a seller that knows it's the only one available on the site. The Bridgforth book is now 15 years old, so maybe the bottle has become more hard to find since that date of publication.
I just got this 1968 10 ounce Mountain Dew Canadian version of the embossed Hillbilly bottle. This style with the Ya-hoo! / Hillbilly embossing was only made in 1968 and only in Canada. Its lettering is half French and half English. According to the Dick Bridgforth book, this is a common, but I...
California seems like a hot mess of a state. I feel sympathy for anyone who has to live there. This isn't the country I used to know. Soon all of the U.S. will become just like that state.
I just cleaned this 1952 ACL bottle with an alcohol prep pad yesterday. After finding the bottle in the ground the same day. I stand by my results. Alcohol removes the dirt but not the paint.
I have seen green bottles like those three, in the woods pretty much everywhere. I tend to overlook them as being common, but sometimes I check to see if they have the Anchor Hocking logo on the bottom. I am surprised there are no paper label Mountain Dew bottles that have survived somewhere. A...
Welcome to the site! That's a lot of named Mountain Dew bottles in one place! I recommend selling one at a time in an auction, since you said auctions are what you prefer. Personally I prefer "buy it now" but that's just me. With the economy in the gutter, you may only get a few bids on a...
Great photos and finds. Especially that Shell oil bottle. I've never come across anything like that. Most of the time they probably got broken since they are an unusual shape.
Very nice informational directory about 7up bottles in the 1954 to 1979 era! The only thing I have to add, technically there was a re-release of the swimsuit girl design for the 1978 commemorative bottle. I have one made by Glenshaw.
