Rare Dr Pepper

[bhaze]

I recently purchased this at an antique mall and it is a 6 1/2 oz dr pepper bottle. It has the clock on the back that is pointing to 10, 2, and 4 which i believe is debossed. The Dr Pepper Good For Life on the front is embossed. Under that where a city would have gone is the number "43" and the number "1." (Maybe from 1943?) The city and state are on the bottom and it reads "Springfield, Ohio" with "Ball" written in cursive. I'm not really sure exactly what this bottle is but I think it might be a transition bottle of some sort. Any info at all would be much appreciated.

Interesting, but I'm not sure if it's worth more than your typical Dr. Pepper. It's odd that Ball made it. They usually stayed in the fruit/food jar area. I have seen a few whiskeys by them though.
