Dat one of the ones you/we got Sunday? I got thinking........why did I leave that tester bottle there.

Let's see that 'ginger beer'........................and did that 'heavy box' get any better?[:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]

You know, I added two to my collection[;)] on the N.C. side...and that cap.

I have one of those too. It does say underneath the bottle: MCPHERSON BRO BEV. CO. LITTLETON NC 6OZ

Around the bottom of the body of the bottle are the numbers 956 and more or less opposite of that, 4.

There's an embossed clown on both sides; I assume yours had two clowns also.

Oddly, the clown's suit has a letter P, a few D letters, and several O letters. The letters are rotated in various angles. Maybe these letters are some kind of clue.

I bought it in VA and I don't know anything more about it.

One of my favorite things about this bottle is that it's a bottle-on-bottle; each clown is holding a bottle of soda!

Nice embossed soda Judu. I like circus themed bottles. I have several ACLs with clowns on them. So how was the haul with Pat and the others. I sure would like to see some pics of the bottles you all found...
