This bottle is in Bill Agee's book, titled Collecting The Cures, dated 1969, page No 20, item No. 51, valued at $4.00 to $6.00 and he does not state that it is a English bottle. I had know Bill since 1990 and had never known him to say that any bottles in his two books were foreign. He might have, just have not heard it, and we talked about bottles about one to three times a month, Doyle

I see them quite a bit in large lots of imported bottles from England. Not too hard to find if you know where to look.

Hey Doyle,
Bill was certainly a landmark figure in the Bottle History Constellation, but he did not have the internet and some of the tools available today. With so many British products available in the states, and them showing up in digs here, why would he think otherwise. I've not got a copy of his book. What does he say about it? Wish you could call him up and ask him...

This pics is from Bill's book, Collecting The Cures. Yes his book was written in the old prehistoric days of "NO INTERNET". The internet has made all of us ol folks a lot smarter, LOL
I was bringing Bill up to date on how to find all sorts of info in Google. I guess that is the reason he and I got along so well, because of the history of the bottles we got. He has taught me a lot, but I in turn had taught him a little also, I hope.

Hey Doyle,
I can only imagine the amount of time he had to spend at the library, talking to far flung librarians, collectors, curators, dealers, diggers, et al. Did he ever talk of his methods and/or sleuthing the elusive bottle stories? What were some of his non Dr. Pepper favorites?

I've thought of that stuff often. Imagine the footwork of the McKearins, Van Rehsselaer, Gardner, etc. etc. etc. That was mostly snail mail, no long distance calling plans, in some cases cars and gas stations weren't wide spread and horses and steamers were still the norm. Piles of newspapers etc. were being looked through page by page.
They have been found to be wrong in some cases but it's mind blowing what they did find out that's still known as fact.
