Only one lonely probable beer among them. If you want I'll move this to Soda's.

 

[CaptainSandune]

Yes that would be great, please move it to sodas. You definitely know your stuff. The William Franzen & Sons is the lone beer bottle.

Cowseatmaze I actually found a couple of other beer bottles in my trash bottle bucket this morning. I generally bypass the amber colored bottles becasue so many of them are modern Budweiser etc. I was throwing out the few cracked, broke, and Budweiser bottles from yesterdays take and found a nice Frank Fehr Bottling Company of Louisville Kentucky and an old embossed Michelob bottle. I guess I'll start digging out and looking more closely at those Amber bottles. I threw six junk ones away of course but 2 out of 8 isn't bad.

Captain, Nice dig! Do you want to sell the Pepsi?[]

 

[CaptainSandune]

Andrew I'd really prefer to keep it but my finances are tough right now and I could let it go for 750. The go for 900 and up in excellent condition and this one will be excellent with a professional cleaning to buff it out. I can provide pictures if there is any interest. I would be a little sad to let it go because I know I will never find another one with this tint in this good of a condition.

I can provide pictures if there is any interest.

Could you do that anyway? [][] Even a group shot would be great.
