picked up this seltzer off ebay. first photo is the one used by the seller on ebay. second is one i took when it arrived. notice the difference in the lettering in the photo's. seller states his photo was taken outdoors in the sun. while my photo was taken indoors. seller states the lettering changes depending on the lighting. letters are frosted onto the glass. i was surprised when i took the bottle out of the box when it arrived. any thoughts on the different appearance in the letter quality ?

I don't know a whole bunch about nothing , but I have never seen a Pepsi seltzer . I think it is a repo , hope I am totally wrong .

I think his photo was either taken outside in bright low angle sun light or a bright indoor lamp was used. You can see clearly a very dark shadow is cast behind the bottle. The right hand side of his picture is much more brighter then the left. Everything looks OK to me.

no it's not a repo. on the backside it's embossed APAGAZOASASSTAS3377-52 on the bottom it's embossed STAS3249-65

How do you tell if the etching is old or new?

Here's a 'Pepsi' in red.

.........................and here's one w/ a newly etched 'Pepsi'

Seems like it would be easy to fake.

I've seen some 'Coke', 'Nehi' & 'Red Rock' seltzers where 'Coca-Cola', 'Nehi' & 'Red Rock' is on the neck/ top, did 'Pepsi' do the same?

If its not a repo I am tickled to death for you . First Pepsi Seltzer I ever saw , didn't know there was such a thing .

Here is a Pepsi Jug I have , the script is a bright white . As you can see though , it is a newer item being it is a single dot .

I got to agree w/ you Louis.

Here's a bunch of em' that's been sold recently, and ya know, something just don't look right about them.

Not that I'm a 'Pepsi' or a seltzer expert by any means.....................they just look fake.

Especially this one.
