Good morning all. Has anyone ever seen this Dr.Pepper bottling co before? Trying to find some history and valve on it. Nothing to compare it with! Thanks

I have the same bottle. Had mine for about ten years. I think I paid two or three dollars for mine. I have a seen a few more of them. The town I live in is only about 65 miles from Springfield.

Too funny. I have had mine 20 years. Bought it for 3 bucks in Galena il. It would be great to find out how much they are worth and a little more history. I have a coke bottle similar to this Dr. Pepper. I think years ago someone posted the coke bottle on this forum but I don't know how to look it up! I did find the coke bottle on ebay and the guy is asking 190.00. It hasn't sold yet. Lol

From what I was told several years ago they were for flavored sodas, strawberry, grape, etc. I would say probably worth $5 to $10. I could be wrong though. It all depends on how bad someone wants one and how much they are willing to pay for it.

I agree somewhat. I've heard that 5 - 10 dollar range thing but in my opinion which I am not a pro but have many years buying and selling bottles this bottle is at least a 75 dollar bottle all day. It's exactly like you say you have to wait it out! I have sold many bottles for 10 dollars and found out down the road they were 40 dollars etc. Anyway I appreciate your help. All I have is time! Lol. Have a great weekend

I bought one of those online for $8.5 in 2016. Springfield, IL, Obear-made, 7 oz capacity. A fairly common design, usually much less worn/damaged. $7 - $10.
