Once again, the newby brings another bottle to the forum for market appraisal. I sold a few milk bottles to a gentleman earlier in the week who came to the house to pick them up. While he was here, I showed him some of my collection. Let me interject, what I refer to a collection is probably not what the rest of you would. You see, I never bought or sold a bottle until this week. These bottles have been in my basement for 35 years +. As a kid my dad and I would go after church on Sunday afternoons and dig in abandonned homestead dumps. Every bottle in my collection I discovered. However, I never bothered looking at them as an investment until this past week when I got some good money for milk bottles.
Anyway back to the Pepsi:Cola bottle. This gentelemaan told me that the Pepsi:Cola bottles that I have are worth something because, they are double dot. He pointed out to me that double dot's between the words "Pespi:Cola". These bottles are painted on both sides. The front is red, white and blue. The back is just white. The bottle was bottled in Scranton, PA for the Pepsi:Cola Co. Long Island City, NY.
The bottom bas reads DES PAT. 120,277 with a 13 in a circle in the center and 47 to the right. To the left looks like"I or 1". An at the very bottom of the base looks like1211.
I have three photos of the bottle. I was informed that the file for each photo was too large. I attempted to compress the file, it told me it was too big. I tried shooting the photo at 1.2 mpxls still too big. I can email them to anyone interested. I am yet to clean because, I have no idea how. I hope this information helps to get a reasonable appraisal on these bottles.
Thanks, Kipp Adcock
