Alright, are you ready for a little story? Get ready for a big run-on sentence then!
I recently acquired this bottle for free from a younger brother of mine who was on summer break from college and got a job wrenching on airplanes at Inyokern Airport for a couple of weeks whist living there locally with an old collage friend of my dads (in his 60's now). While he was there, the guy and his wife had to make a run to pick up a vehicle that was on her old family ranch in Glennville, California. Long story short, my brother told the guys wife that his older brother collects bottles, and she then proceeded to recover over a dozen old bottles out of the attic. This bottle was the only soda bottle in the bunch, the rest I have already sold on Craigslist for $20. []
The bottle reads "KERN COUNTY BOTTLING WORKS" and it is 6 1/2 oz. in size. The question I would like to ask of all you experts is this: does anyone has a good idea of the date of this bottle or its value? I would venture to guess that it is 1920's vintage.
Much thanks!
