I picked up a few additional Kentucky Pepsi's and I thought I'd update my original post

From Left to Right:

1. Double Dot RW&B 12oz - Fulton KY
2. Single Dot R&W 8oz - Corbin KY
3. Single Dot R&W 10oz - Louisville KY. I found this one in a shop and I wasn't sold on it as I already have a 10oz Louisville SD. I went ahead and bought it and there is a difference. This one has 10oz on the rear under the bottling location and my other has 10oz on the front.
4. Single Dot R&W 10oz - Hopkinsville KY. I already had a 10oz Hopkinsville on this one too, but it has the skinny upper label and this one has a wider upper label so I grabbed it.
5. Double Dot R&W 12oz Fountain Syrup - Paducah KY
6. Double Dot RW&B 12oz - Paducah KY

Here's a couple KY go-withs.
1. Double Dot Opener - Louisville KY
2. Single Dot Pencil - Paducah KY
3. Double Dot cap w/ Kentucky on the inside.

I picked up another Kentucky Pepsi

Amber Lexington KY: This (along with the green bottle) is likely very rare. The Lexington KY operation was owned by Grand Pop and not long after bottling in Lexington, they started using the 'Grand Pop' embossed neck bottle. So, the amber and green bottles are likely rare. The label isn't in good shape here, but it's worth it to have one....to me

Speaking of Grand Pop. I picked this up on Thursday. I'm sure it did not have Pepsi in it, but it's Pepsi related.

I picked up a few more, 2 Tompkinsville and 2 Corbin KY bottles. It's kinda funny how things happen. I bought the two bottles that are in terrible shape from a local junk store. I didn't pay but a buck for them, but I had to own them just incase another never comes up. You really never know so I take what I can get. Later, a Tompkinsville and a Corbin RW&B show up on Ebay, so I had to own them also. Here's the 4 latest.

8oz R&W Double Dot & 12oz RW&W Double Dot Tompkinsville KY

12oz Single Dot & 12oz RW&B Double Dot Corbin KY

I really need a way to showcase my Kentucky specific collection. For me, it's not about having perfect bottles. I mean, yes, I'd love to have everyone in mint shape. But just to have the bottle proves it exists and that's important as I build this 'history' of Pepsi Cola in Kentucky.

Re: RE: Kentucky Pepsi Cola

I recently added another piece the Pepsi Kentucky Story. This one is a Fulton KY bottle. I see two possible scenarios: 1. It was a paper label Pepsi from the 30s-early 40s, or 2. It was a flavor drink. More likely #2, but I like to think it's the former. On to the goods....

Re: RE: Kentucky Pepsi Cola

I completely forgot that I picked up one of the Middlesboro bottles a few weeks ago. It's not perfect, but I got it for a super price. It could use a nice tumble and there are a few inside cracks, but it's overall nice.

If anyone is interested, here's my list of known Pepsi bottles from Kentucky. All the photos aren't updated, but the ones highlighted are the ones I have. I only list bottles I've seen/know for sure exist. If anyone actually owns a bottle that's not on here please let me know, share a photo! https://docs.google.com/d...rSfK0/edit?usp=sharing

Re: RE: Kentucky Pepsi Cola

Thought I'd ressurect my old running thread (since we can now) and share an updated photo. Bottom Left is Lexington KY, Bottom Right is Louisville KY. Each 'cluster' on the top is a different city in KY

I still keep a running list of know/acquired Pepsi bottles here: https://docs.google.com/d...rSfK0/edit?usp=sharing
