Does anyone know when the show will be this year? Can't find anything about it yet... last year it wasn't until July... Usually in June.
Anyway just wondering.
Hey folks... Have a question and thought this would be the place to ask... Have a friend whose family was a bottler for Coca-Cola in MN... But before that they had their own line of flavors... He just found this out during this past Thanksgiving at a family get together as a member is putting...
So nice to be out among other collectors.. Had bought a DR. WELLS crate a couple years back from Conroe Texas and wanted to try and fill it... you know.. give me something to do and thought it would take a while.. but ended up finding 11 bottles.. so now I need to find another crate or 6 pack...
So nice to get out and hunt.. Tired of this being cooped up... Picked up a nice crate full of O-So Grape bottles. The crate was marked 1946.. The bottles are marked from Flat Rive Missouri... then a 8 oz. Pepsi red and White double dot.. From St. Louis, MO... As you can see Bar Keepers Friend...
Thought I would post some images from the St. Louis bottle show last week.. They handed out free tote bags at the door.. This show was on the line as
several shows closed/canceled after this date... there was plenty of hand sanitizer and bathrooms were stocked.. a few vendors canceled... and I...
Just bought these at a small auction... I never see Spur soda bottles... not around here in Missouri anyway.... And these are the first paper label
I've seen for Spur... not sure of the year so someone here with the knowledge to understand the embossed info on the bottom please
chime in. And...
Picked up a nice Pepsi double dot crate with 22 Pepsi bottles... no labels as I'm sure they came off decades ago.. they date 1941 on the bottom.. also got a few Hires and a clean Coke button
and a Dr Wells cooler... cooler is from the mid/late 40s... All Came from up New York way... picked up at...
I had bought a 50s/60s 7up bottle rack with 5 cases of small 7up bottles still filled with soda off craigslist a few years back... Well having to move it around a few times (it's heavy) a lot of the bottles had "floaties" in the soda... So I made the decision this week to empty all the bottles...
I'm pretty sure Howdy started out as an orange soda and used a paper label... some co-workers think it started out as a lemon lime flavored soda that became 7up...
From what I find and know (which ain't much) the man who developed Howdy Orange developed 7up a few years later... Howdy was never a...
Thought it might be fun if we posted what we have found/picked up this week.
went to some antique shops and flea market in Northern Missouri and found these this weekend
cleaned up pretty nice... good survivors... The soda fountain glass is a hard one to find
(for me anyway)... I believe it was...
First time going.. Can't believe I've never gone before... It's more than a bottle show.. dealers from around the country set up with bottles and vintage signage... loved it! will be going from now on... it goes along with their monthly flea market so there were over 200 dealers set up...
I'm asking for some help with this one as I can't find anything on the company. We're updating our website and I wanted to add some history to
each of our sodas... and this one is a tough one. All we have so far is just a line "The O-So Beverage Company originally brewed out of Peoria, IL around...
I know a lot of folks are on facebook now also (I've yet to open an account) but I know many have and have found a lot of places to buy and sell.
The company I work for bottles soda, many vintage sodas to be exact... They have a facebook account and though I'm not on there yet.. I would like to...

Just got these today... Thanks to some friends that spotted them at the Memphis Bottle show.I go from no squat aqua style bottles to a complete case, plus the case... A few bottles have someminor wear to the glass but the ACL labels look good... a few even near...
