This guy had something with these big 24oz bottles.
Here's a regular bottle for reference.

I haven't updated in a while, but I've picked up a few additional Epping Bottles recently. It's funny how it works, I'd went nearly a year without any new Epping Bottles, then I found a bunch within a couple weeks.

#1. Epping, Mi-Hi - Clear 9oz. This bottle is similar to other Epping's drink bottles, but has Mi-Hi on it, which was another of his drinks.

#2: John G. Epping, 24 FL Oz. I bought one of these once on Ebay, but the seller shipped me the wrong item and I never received it. I didn't know if I'd ever see another, luckily, I found this one in great shape. Epping sure had a thing for these big 24oz bottles

#3: Eppings. I grabbed this one, thinking it was a duplicate, but when I got home it has the Epping on the shoulder, and my other one has Epping on the shoulder and 7fl oz below, so it was a different variation.

#4. I finally got an 8 Bubble Epping 7UP. I've had a few chances to get one of these, usually selling around $20-35. I picked up this one and the above bottle for $5.

#5. I picked up another, older, Epping Seltzer bottle. It's in decent shape, the glass straw is still there but doesn't stay attached to the dispenser. No photo, but I found another, almost identical one 2 days later, etching was the same, but the base of the bottle didn't have the same shape, it was just straight down.

2+ years and still going. I was thinking of making sticky with all the great postings but there hardly seams a reason. :)

This had been a good, long standing thread with a ton of information from Bob. Looking back, the messed up photos bother me. If I could figure out a really good method of taking photos I would like to redo my entire collection.
