Some of the early Welchs bottles are pretty rare. I sold one a while back to one of the last descendants of the family for a pretty high price.

is is the thread I posted the early welchs bottle in

GUTH IT IS IRONIC THAT WELCES GRAPE JUICE WAS MADE TO REPLACE WINE IN THE USE FOR COMMUNION IN CHURCHES,AS MY DAD WAS A DEACON IN A BAPTIST FOR 35 YEARS AND EARLY ON HE USED TO TELL CHURCH MEMBERS THAT NO WHERE IN THE BIBLE DID IT SAY TO USE WELCHES GRAPE JUICE! [HE DID NOT KNOW THAT IS WHY IT WAS MADE!} WELL POP MADE THE WINE FOR CHURCH AND IT WAS USED UNTIL IT WAS DISCOVERED THE YOUTH OF THE CHURCH WERE SLIPPING AROUND AND DRINGING THE LEFT OVER WINE! NOW WELCES IS USED AFTER ALL! THE ROUND BOTTLE IS DUG AROUND HERE AT A 1912 or so/20s DUMP.
