Would anyone here happen to have a Mountain Dew bottle with either "Maurice and Leo" on it or even "Morry and Gert" for sale?
These would have been from Illinois.
I initially posted this in the What Is It AFTER 1900 forum...sorry for the dup. This weekend I dug a 1964 Mt. Dew bottle with a bottler name I can not find any info on - "Sally, Aline & Pete". (Photo attached). Has anyone ever heard of this name before? I suspect it is rare, but also suspect the condition may render it worthless, unless it might happen to be the only known example perhaps. Anyone have any info or care to guess at the value?
Hi Mike,
The Sally, Aline and Pete bottle is from 1964. The back says "Mountain Dew is Good!" instead of the later classic, "It'll tickle yore innards!"
In good condition, WAY better than yours, it was valued around $30.00 and is considered "somewhat rare".
Yours may deserve a decent reburial. []
Thought this would be the best place to ask about this since this thread seems to be the hangout place for Mtn Dew bottle guys in this forum...
I tried joining the mountaindewbottleclub.com club three times now and for some reason paypal isnt communicating with the site and verifiying that I paid or something. I have been refunded by Mr Wayne Burgess, the sites owner multiple times now. I also tried purchasing the bottle list from the site and after the paypal checkout it just took me to the sites home page without letting me access the list or prociding instructions on what to do.
I am primarily a collector of hillbilly bottle /crown caps right now but am looking at starting a bottle collection soon. Do people sell/trade caps on the club site at all? I am just wondering if there is anyone on here that is a part of that club and can tell me if it is worth it to continue trying to join? Or if I just fell victim to a scam....
Maybe you NDNR experts can help me with this one...the "pepsi hillbilly" NDNR bottle here:
it seems to only be seen with a bilingual french / english wording on the top. was this ONLY a canadian thing or was there an embossed NDNR PEPSI hillbilly bottle specific to the US? Or did they just sell this bilingual type in the US too?
I dont have the book so I cant check...
Shadeone, according to the book(hillbilly bottles) there are 3 variants of this bottle, all from Canada 1968. The U.S. has 10 different variants of NDNR embossed bottles from 1968. Value around 15$. Nice bottle. I don't have a Canadian one.
