Hello, I have a Dr. Pepper bottle I picked up at an estate sale for $1. It was unusual so I had to get it but cant find anything on it. So now I am in the air about it being a fake but I didn't know you could get labels and just throw them on, plus the label doesn't look brand new either. The bottle itself says it was bottled at Grafs Beverages Inc. Milwaukee Wisconsin. So can anyone tell me if at one point this bottle was a different soda and they just some how took off the old label and put this one on or give me good news and tell me it is real.
Thanks

looks like the bottle was made in 1973 , so it maybe.

I believe Grafs bottled Dr. Pepper so it's probably real.

The paper looks deteriorated enough, plus I don't remember bottles like that any time after 80's so betting on real could probably be safe!
