Here's a rare WW2 Green Pepsi from Mississippi

[digger mcdirt]

Here's a rare WW2 era Green Pepsi Cola bottle with both original labels. The neck label on this one is super nice and talks about returning cap. This bottle is also embossed Delta Beverages around the middle and has the city on the bottom. It just came out of a local estate. I have not cleaned it yet it still has some dried WW2 Pepsi syrup in it. I will get around to that later. This is a super hard to get bottle with original labels. The repo's abound but the real are scarce. BOB

Very nice! looks like a 1938 date to me, just around the time they started ACL process. What would one of these fetch $$$$$

It's a rare one I would say a good 4 if not 5 on rarity scale. I have seen a few of the bottles minus labels and a couple with repop labels but this is the 1st real one I have seen. The neck label is a rare one you see a much more of the standard R-W-B neck labels with return cap that this plain one. It is 1940 -1941 era as tin was limited during the war (and even into the year leading up to war being declared ) all of it was diverted to war use not to be wasted on bottle caps. Many smaller bottlers like the one in Corinth paid for the returned caps and they were repainted by hand and recapped. The cap was harder to replace in some ways than the bottle. This one was in the wall of a house or It would be like most minus original labels. bob
