Well, I saw this Dr. Pepper, and it looked strange to me, so I bought. I came home and compared it to my other Dr. Pepper and was surprised to see how neat the new Dr. Pepper's debossing was. I looked on the back and saw that the 6 1/2 ounces was in a different spot too. The new one's base has the c in a circle for Chattanooga Glass Company, from Chattanooga, TN and my old one has Dr. Pepper bottling co. DuBuque, Iowa on it. My only question is that are these differences caused from being made at different places, or is one variety older. Thanks for your help. It is greatly appreciated.

I have mentioned in this forum before that there are large-lettering GOOD FOR LIFE and small-lettering GOOD FOR LIFE types. Your pictures show that clearly. I hadn't noticed the difference in the size of the printing of the bottle's capacity.
