Oh Johnny, you're killing me. Picked up three more today.

Green Eppings Kentucky Club

I'm really curious about the value of the green ones. That's the thing about local pieces, no real guide and I guess most value is to local collectors.

Alkalaris Water: Big thanks to collector/forum member Aaron for getting this for me


I have two more coming in the mail. I'm currently making a list of all the bottles I have/know of and trying to date these. Dating is difficult.

Josh tried to PM you, but wouldn't go thru. I don't know if you have this one, but thought I would let you know.

I don't, what's the significance of the 8 bubbles?

 

[iggyworf]

Briefly, In the beginning of 7up, for whatever reasons they started with 8 bubbles fizzing up from the 'swimsuit girl'. Then someone in the offices brought up the notion that this is '7up' why are there 8 bublles rising up. So after that they changed it to 7 bubbles. So there are less 8 bubble bottles than 7 bubble ones. They price in range from 10$ to 30$ depending on which cities ect. The amber/brown ones go for more. Here is a chart on the yrs of bubble bottles. I have 2 8 bubble bottles. So that one from John G Epping might be a good one for you.



Check out this article if you want more info on 7up bottles.

Did you notice the Epping 7up bottle that's on eBay is marked with ...

3 <(I)> 1 Duraglas

Which makes it a 1941 bottle.

Notice on Bill Lockhart's chart that he list 1941 as the latest date for the eight bubble swim bottle.

An ACL Seltzer Bottle. It's missing the glass straw that my older Etched one has, but it's a beauty

Ok guys and gals, I need some help here.

Take a look at this auction: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=172102068840&alt=web

I'm concerned this is fake.

1. The bottle. I see a lot of other seltzer bottlers on eBay like this that seen to be fake. Why would a bottler from Louisville KY use a bottle from that far away? The bottle scares me.

2. However, why fake a John Epping bottle? Why take the time for such an obscure bottler?

3. Take a look back at my previous posting, I have, what I thought to be authentic, seltzer bottle with the same etched logo.

4. (2) why fake a John Epping bottle, doesn't make sense...

Any insights from you experts?
