Gonna steer away from my usual 7up stuff and post a new one I just recently got. I collect Teem, a Pepsi product. Pepsi put out Teem in 1960, a lemon lime drink. Discontinued in the US in 1984 but still available in a few other countries. This particular 12 oz embossed bottle seems to be very hard to find. It is from 1965. I have the Ayers Pepsi guide books from back in 2001 and it lists this bottle for 250.00$! Strange how prices can go up and down because I only paid 22$ for it. But kinda nice knowing that maybe at some point in time it was worth a lot. I collect Teem bottles and have a good collection of them.

I am not the greatest when it comes to taking pics of embossed bottles.

Here are more of my Teem collection.

32 oz & 28 oz 'starburst' logo. 1960's.

32 oz 'sailboat' logo. 2nd one hard to find smooth glass. 78 & 81.

7 oz 'starburst' logo. All hard to find. The middle 'swirl' design is a good one. 1960's

Nice collection of Teem bottles you have there iggy. I had a few Teems in my collection years ago before I downsized, but I know I did not have any smooth glass versions. Thanks for sharing!.

here is a picture of the Teem can I found a couple of years ago , thinking its 70's era ? never bothered to try and clean it off and its sat in the garage with some other cans I've found

French side is mostly coloured still , mix of green , yellow and white , English side is dirtier and maybe I should try and clean it .

RCO, too bad that can is in rough shape. At least one side is good. I agree with the 70's as they switched to the 'sailboat' logo later on. Those 7 oz ones are good also. Their are still different variations of Teem bottles I still do not have so I always keep a look out. Thanx for showin and thanx Jblaylock & bottle-bud!

Very nice collection! That's not a brand I see often. That smooth one with the neck ACL is very weird, never seen any ACL like that before that I can remember. Do you think it was supposed to have a paper label as well? Seems like a very weird label placement on such a plain bottle otherwise.
Also RCO I quite like that can, I'm a sucker for 70s graphic design! I'd definitely clean that one up if it was mine.
