I was wondering if someone could help me out with my question... I found a glass coke bottle still sealed with a plastic ring inside, and also a 7 up bottle sealed with a canada dry cap and It looks to be canada dry inside the 7up bottle, I will take pictures and post them for you to see , have any of you ever heard/seen of this type of manufacture errors? What would you guys do with these bottles ? are they worth of any value? Thank you for your help

You didn't say where you found these? You see these at live auctions from time to time, even ebay snicker, snicker. The Coke cap is new this type is being used now. Don't know about the 7 UP/Canada Dry. My take on them is, someone capped them recently.

This is a very niche market. Kind of like error coins in coin collecting. The difference being that the error coins are actually legitimate due to it being hard to duplicate the same errors in the wild. Unlike bottles with different caps and stuff in bottles. People re-cap bottles all the time, it wouldn't take much to uncap say that coke put the ring inside and then re-cap it claiming that it is an error.

Think about it for a minute. This bottle would have been processed on a different type of line from the plastic bottles, so how did a product from one process get seperated from first it's original cap and then all the way to another type of bottling line? I really feel that the Coke is a fake, as for the 7-up. First off what are the odds that a 7-up bottling company bottled Canada Dry, or visa versa?

I actually have two of these bottles with mismatched lids, I am pretty sure that they are legit. One is a Mil-kay bottle with a Mountain Dew cap, and the other is a Blue Ridge Beverages with an Orange Crush cap. Why do I think that these two are legitimate? First off both the bottles and the caps are from the Marion Bottling Company, and both bottles were found together with lids from about the same era. Then both caps have light rust on them and wear alluding to the possible fact that they have been on these bottles for quite a while. The Mil-kay is from 1948 and the blueridge is from the 1960's the caps appear to be from the late 1970's to early 1980's. Most likely these were bottles that were sitting in someone's basement and arrived in the plant in the late 1970's and someone decided it would be neat to bottle the newer drinks in them.

As for worth, like with the error coins, worth is in the eye of the beholder. Someone might pay for this item as a "hey that's neat"; however, most will only give you what the bottle itself is worth. Buyer beware when it comes to this type of error.
