My scare '59, 7oz embossed Pepsi is one of my top 3 finds of all time. Information on this bottle is just as hard to find as the bottle itself. I guess it pays to hunt in areas sane people would never attempt to enter.

Where did you find this awesome bottle?
Deep in the woods of an old military base. There were also a ton of Puritan Dairy 1/2 pint milks, Pat-D's, strap side whiskey's, blob beers, meds, BIMAL whiskeys, Why the wide range of bottle dates is I think someone threw out the Pepsi bottle there because they may have dumped other stuff there. However, why a '59 Pepsi was mixed in with 1880s stuff, '40s milks, and Pat - D's mystifies me.

The first digger was there in ‘59 and he was thirsty!

It looks like it was ahead of it's time just slightly. Usually those type of bottles are seen in the 1960's or 1970's. I did find a 1959 Pepsi just last week but it was the type that is half ACL and half embossed.

I think this bottle was manufactured only in '58, '59, and '60... but don't quote me on that because details are very sketchy on them. It was also referred to as a "Throw Away" Pepsi. Amazingly enough, it was a surface find. My easiest scarce bottle discovery by far.

Nice. No digging around here for awhile. -19f outside at the moment.
Wow, that's too bad. I'd be stir crazy. In NJ we've been pretty lucky this Winter has been very mild.

you can still sometimes find no deposit bottles on the surface here , as they were tossed in the 60's or 70's so not necessary that long ago , sometimes there hidden among the leaves and such

although the ones I'd find are pretty common , coke , pepsi or clear with no names on them

I do find some ACL's here, but they're not good enough to keep... mostly the paint is roached. However, I did find a mint 1 liter Coke ACL. Really the only one worth keeping.
