But even the Five Points isn't the find of the day. The find of the day is a crate actually, to be exact it is a Frostie Root Beer crate from Johnson City, Tenn. To be more specific it is from the "Tri-City Bott. Co." of Johnson City, Tenn. That was never the name of the company, the name was actually Tri-City Beverage. One of the tougher to find crates from Tri-City, since they standardized to the green stencil on wood "Tri-City" crates not too long after these, this crate was a find indeed, and I do love my tough to find crates. There is a Mountain Dew, and a Dr. Enuf crate from Tri-City beverage as well, but I have yet to find one of them.

Oh I thought your Johnson City was in good shape. I may have to go with my original plan of keeping the Knoxville, and trading my JC Five points to someone who's been drooling over it for a while, I just like the design myself, and I don't have to have every Johnson City bottle. I was hoping your JC was in pretty good shape and I wouldn't have to trade him mine. LOL!

You dog. Where did you find that Wards Orange Crush? Is it the greenish version or the blue? I stopped by White Pine but he was long gone by the time I got there. Shoulda left earlier I guess. LOL! I was great too meet you as well, hope to see you again at Grey.

Been a decent week for bottles. I got some from ebay, some from Whiskyman, and some from a new source.

A Banner Beverages from the Banner Cola Corporation of Christiansburg, VA, a Grapette variation I've been looking for from Johnson City, Tenn., a Ned's from the Coca-Cola Bottling Works of Rockford, Tenn., and a Players from no where for the Red Rock Collection. The last three I got from Whiskeyman and the Baner was from ebay.

A new source offered these three to me today. A mint Bluefield Brewing Company bottle from Bluefield, WVA, a 1930 Nu-Icy from Wytheville, VA (unfortunately it has a shallow chip on the rings that I didn't see), and a Bluefield, VA 1955 Royal Crown that I needed pictures of for the site.

What's worse is it was one of those sneaky ones. It's not like I would leave a bottle as tough to find as that one behind chip or no chip anyway.
