Pepsi Bottle, 1905?

[Twelve acorns]

I was looking for some help identifying more details in this bottle we found. We found it working in our yard. It is an embossed Pepsi Cola bottle that seems to have the 1905 logo? It is stamped as Durham, NC (which from what I understand was one of the first two bottling franchises). I read that bottling started in 1905... which makes me wonder if this is one of the first bottles created from the Pepsi bottling franchising? It was a really fun find. I have enjoyed reading on the Pepsi history and thinking back more than 100 years ago to what my yard must have been. Are these worth anything?

Thanks for your help!

Definitly worth some cash. You keeping it or want to sell?

I'd guess the bottle dates to around 1913 or after. Nice Find. It has Value but how much I'm not sure. LEON.

That's a good one! DUR 6-V3 according to Ayers guide. 1916-18 possibly up to 125$.

Guess it depends on how much it is worth.

What does DUR-6V3 mean? Thanks for the info!

Is this from volume 1 or 2 ?

It's from vol 2 (2000) I am unclear what the 6 stands for but V3 means there are 3 variations of this bottle most likely color variations. There are at least 26 different straight sided bottles from Durham NC.

Durham started to bottle Pepsi in 1908 and made many bottle types. The one you have is 1918 to 1923
