1958 Pepsi Cola crates similar to these but from Louisville, Kentucky
(Especially if it looks "repaired" :))

Note: These particular crates/carriers are not from Louisville but are described as being stamped inside with 58 for 1958

I have 2 Pepsi Louisville Crates:

Also, a note on the Pepsi Script bottle you posted a photo of. That is a much more common design. There are clear and green versions and they were used by many bottlers in the 30s. The one I have, I've never seen another one like.

I figured out what issue of Newsweek magazine the grandpa Presley article was in and recently purchased a copy ...

Newsweek - July 7, 1958 - Volume LI (51) - No. 27 - Page 63

... which also included a picture of him.

If you ever change your mind please think of me!
Thanks,

I certainly will. Normally I only collect bottles from Kentucky. However this bottle is very unique, I have not seen another Pepsi bottle like this one. At the point in time when this bottle was made pepsi was using a standardized bottle. It's unusual for a Bottling Company to break apart and use a different bottle.

Oddly enough, finding a standardized bottle with a Three Rivers mark is much harder than finding one of these. It's a great bottle still! Three Rivers bottles made for Kentucky are virtually nonexistent, but I recently found a Columbus, Kentucky debossed Good For Life Dr. Pepper with a 3R* on it.
