Throw away or Throwback. I don't know what's gonna be in the series, I was just thirsty.

You should pick up Ayers guide Vol 2

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pepsi-Cola-Bottles-More-Collectors-Guide-Vol-2-/230632807814?pt=US_Nonfiction_Book&hash=item35b2c95d86

It has tons of Mountain Dew and a complete list of values with the names of the bottlers

thank you!....going to get the Ayers guide...looks like it will be helpful....

I've found that the Ayers guide is actually more accurate than the Dick Bridgforth book as far as pricing goes. Alot of the values in the Bridgforth book are very inflated. Not sure if the Ayers guide has a complete listing of the bottles though. Even I found one that wasn't listed in the Bridgforth book or the Ayers. A Whaleysville, MD bottle. But the Bridgforth book is worth buying because it is very thorough and has nearly every bottle and variation you can imagine. They also connect the names on the bottle to the city they were bottled in. Gives you a ton of history about Mountain Dew, other related bottles and even copy cats.

Both are worth having.

Actually the best book for Hillbilly Mountain Dew bottles is Dick Bridgeforth's "Mountain Dew: Hillbilly Bottles". Ayer's book doesn't even scratch the surface of the 800+ variations and types out there, and his prices are long since out of date. Bridgeforth does have some overly inflated prices; however, his book is the guide that most dealers are going by these days. I even asked him about his crazy and I do mean crazy pricing of 10oz and 6oz Tip bottles at $175, which usually can be gained for between $10 and $20 any day of the week. I was told that was what they were bringing on Ebay at the time of the writing of the book. Yeah, I dunno. On that one Ayer's wins hands down. I own both.
