When Dr Pepper first started bottling soda in the early 1900s there were a number of immitators. One bottler, G L Mayer in Rosebud, Texas, which is near Waco, invented a drink named Dr Patton and put it in bottles very similar to the Dr Pepper King of Beverage bottle. I have been told there was a lawsuit won by Dr Pepper and as part of the decision all of the existing Dr Patton bottles were to be destroyed. It is a very rare bottle today but they didn't get them all. I how have a nice example to display next to my real KOB bottle.
