I grew up in a military family and we were stationed in Minnesota in the 1970's. For extra income my father bought a local soda and sold it on base. Viking Soda, came in all kind of flavors. I can remember going with him to South St Paul, to the bottling plant and helping load the car. I also had the job going around the military base picking up empties. I have been trying to find some bottles for a long time, but I am no longer in Minnesota, so they aren't easy to come by. I finally tracked a few down and was going to keep one bottle and give the other to my sister. The bottles arrived, but one did not survive the trip! I hope to track another one down!
Great memories seeing those bottles!

Hello,
Unfortunately, the one that broke is the harder one to find. I have one of each that is in my trade box. The blue and white one is $10, and the purple one is $25. These prices are plus postage. Let me know if you are interested. bottlingco
