Just Found -- Embossed Pepsi Soda Bottle

Bottle cleaned and confirmed to be 16oz in near mint condition. Not bad for ~46 years underground at subsurface. Ironically it states "DO NOT LITTER" on the shoulder but by the 70's NDNR bettles that weren't trashed were just being tossed anywhere. Here are the images:...the cat is not as...

Just Found -- Embossed Pepsi Soda Bottle

Here is the image of the location. The first PEPSI TEEM embossed crown top bottle dated 1965 from LA plant was found under the old ivy 'tree' on a PG&E access lane (that was recenlty repaved) in the first blue circle on the left in the image. Today's PEPSI embossed screw top bottle was found in...

Just Found -- Embossed Pepsi Soda Bottle

I agree with the questionable ROT, but I believe there are more bottles at this location... How many do I 'reasonably' have to find for it to be called a "dump" location? 5 to 10, 10 to 20, 20 to 30,...etc. or must it have " lots of shards and ash and metal obviously visible alongside the...

Just Found -- Embossed Pepsi Soda Bottle

A lot of excitement here...just found this morning a PEPSI stubby emossed screw top bottle near the TEAM heritage embossed crown op bottle I found earlier (~2/7/21) this month (about a bottle lengths away from each other.) I hope I do a better job of documenting this find for provenance...

Just found, question on value

The electric one is very rare since it was the last model produced and only in small numbers before the FDA 'banned" the 'poison' in the 50's. I will post an image of one shortly with the latest auction value pricing.

Just found, question on value

I just found this circa 1931 Canadian ad below showing the very rare electric vaporizer and the more common kerosene lamp type. Has anyone seen the electric version on eBay since eBay started in September 3, 1995?

Just found, question on value

I believe you light the kerosene lamp and heat the Vapo-Cresoline in the vented vaporizor container over the lamp. This is worse than 'snake oil'. It is coal tar oil that is supposed to help whooping cough and other respiratory diseases etc by lining the lungs with oil, however the FDA found...

Just found, question on value

Clare, I researched this when investigating the auction value of the mint in box full bottle in the posting above, and the empty bottle in mint condition is selling for about $15 to $20 on eBay auctions, unless it is cobalt blue which is more collectible. Please post an image of your bottle...

Just found, question on value

My current research indicates that this bottle in mint full condition with box and paperwork is currently selling for at least $30 per the following recent similar auction sale 'calculations': SOLD: 1/2 full bottle NM w/paperwork $26.99 + $10.75 = $37.74 - $5.00 ground shipping = $32.74 pricing...

Just found, question on value

Initial research reveals there is a full bottle without the box or provenance that was recently listed here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/vapo-cresolene-bottle-unopened-bottle-I-do-not-have-the-original-box/133659128693?hash=item1f1eb47375%3Ag%3AcrwAAOSwuBlgE11i&LH_Auction=1 They are starting at...

Just found, question on value

Everyone has done a good job to try and reply to your "realistic value" question. I too will try and help you price your item and follow-up with some research. Firstly value and pricing are different terminology and I assume you are actually looking for a "realistic pricing" of your item...

One For The 'TEEM'

Thank you and pun fully accepted...did you know that Pepsico Executives assigned to the TEEM Account in the early 60's were indeed called "Teem Members"? Their marketing and sales experts were very good at 'milking' the double entendre. Needless to state, the Teem soda was primarily marketed to...

One For The 'TEEM'

A few days ago I found the "hard to find" all-embossed 12 oz bottle on the side of the road in a local central California town. It appears to be in very good condition so I researched this in depth and apparently the Ayer's guidebook was based on the collection of, and feedback from, the now...
