I was just looking over a few caps in my collection and noticed I had three different Green Pepsi Bottle caps. I was wondering if anyone knew the dates each caps were used. I'm guessing one is older then the others, or maybe all three were used at the same time, just different places.

I don't know much about Pepsi but I thought I remembered something about single and double dot's. The first looks like one dot.[8|]

Yes thats right. The 'double dot' is earlier than the 'single dot' Though I am not sure of the year of caps. My guess is 40's to 50's?

Your caps are much older. The far left is likely closer to pre-1910The far right is the next oldest, likely 20sThe center is probably 30s-40s.

Even though it appears to be a single dot, the single-dot Pepsi logo is much newer than any of those caps. 1950ish. The key is the font used for Pepsi.

I am thinking I read once that the double dot was done away with after 1948 but not sure if my memory serves me right or not .

I've been looking at the dots for guessing the date. I should look at the entire logo. Thanks for the info.

The one on the far left has the same logo of this orange Pepsi cap. I know the orange is probably older then the green caps, so knowing they have the same logo would put them around the same time period . Right?
