Can somebody tell me about this bottle. It's description was Circa 1900 Artesia Bottling Company Ft Worth Texas Bottle.Thanks,-Ben

That's a pretty common bottle, but very collectible because of its association with Dr. Pepper. That was the first company that bottled Dr. Pepper. 1900 is a good estimate for the year. I have one just like it... Nice bottle!

So there was doctor pepper in this bottle? Or could of it been a different drink.Thanks for the response,-Ben

I don't think there's any way to know for sure, but it probably was just some drink put out by the company.

Probably that one... I don't focus on Dr. Pepper bottles specifically but I pick up the bottles that I like or know are rare. I have a few raised letter (embossed) ones... One with a misspelled town name.
