Tiffany and Co Pepsi-Cola Bottle

[BottleCapKid]

Picked this bottle up this week and thought it was weird. It is very big and made very thick. Does any one know why this bottle was made by Tiffany for pepsi? Hopefully it's worth mote then a paper weight.

Their Centennial sound good? People do odd things for special occasions.

It's only a sticker that says Tiffany. I would think it would come with a fancy wooden case and COA or something. It is cool, but doesn't look "Tiffany" special in the pics. What did you pay?

The cap should be sterling at least. Is there a mark?

Not sure about them myself. I agree about it should have some kind of fancy case. Here is another one on flee bay right now.http://www.ebay.com/itm/P...mp;hash=item2337141f5a

The Tiffany bottle is listed in one of the books, Stoddard's, I think.

Its given to employees for so many years working for Pepsi. It originally would have come in a wooden box with certificate. The cap is sterling silver. Mint ones still in the boxes go for around $75. Hope this helps. -Jeff

It's a centennial bottle, but higher up employees got them.

To clarify and be 100% accurate, I know someone that worked at Pepsi for 25 years and he said they were handed out at the 100 year anniversary in Hawaii, in 1998, to executives and higher end employees. They invited 5,000 employees, so I'm guessing there are about 5,000 of them floating around out there. Again value for a mint in box one is about $75.

I did some research and discovered that ...

1. The Tiffany crystal bottle was intended for the Pepsi Cola 100th anniversary ceremony held in New Bern, North Carolina in 1998. (But still looking for confirmation of the location)

2. The bottle was primarily intended for Pepsi Cola executives but ended up in the hands of others as well.

3. The bottle came in a blue cardboard box that was foam lined and had Tiffany & Co. printed on the lid.

4. The cap is silver and has .925 stamped underneath it. Most of the caps are tarnished but can be polished.

5. The top of the caps are marked 1998 with the first 9 superimposed with an 8 for 1898 when Pepsi Cola was established.

6. The bottles should be etched on the base with Tiffany & Co.

7. The bottles had nothing to with how long a bottler had been in business but were an anniversary bottle.
