Dr. Pepper

Also, Dr Pepper is not in block letters on the bottom either. Maybe this bottle had a paper label because the front is blank?

ORIGINAL: texas.bottle.man2

Nice info. Yes this bottle was later, see where the 6-1/2oz are. This info was from 1929
The higher the oz markings, the earlier the bottle.If so, then I'm wondering where my bottle with the clock dial on the back and 6 1/2 ozs up from the heel is in the chronology of the Good For Life bottles?

You may be right about the paper label. And even though I am not a Dr Pepper expert, I have never seen one of those types with a paper label. It's possible (which occurred with some of those patent designs) that a seperate/later patent was issued for the embossed/debossed lettering part. There is a Coca Cola patent design of their 1923 bottle, but it doesn't even show the Coca Cola in script on it.

I thought this assortment of different Dr Pepper bottles might be of interest. They are described as follows ...


Assortment includes early Hutch bottle for Artesian Manufacturing & Bottling in Waco, Texas . Also shown is a Dr. Pepper King of Beverages 7-ounce bottle from Artesian. And one of the so called "Thief" straight-sided bottles with heavy embossing, stating "We Pay for Evidence Convicting Thieves for Refilling our Bottles ~ American Mineral Water Co."[/align]

Dr Pepper never had a hutch bottle.
They had a blob top, big mouth Twitchell and a Baltimore Loop bottle. None had Dr Pepper on them, they were all embossed Arteisan Manufacturing & Bottling Co, Waco, Texas. The blob top was the first to hold Dr Pepper in 1891
See blob top below.

Thanks. I/we learn something new every day. I just copy/pasted that information where I found the picture. I never questioned their use of the term "hutch." Nor did I know about the "Artesian" aspect. But I do now, thanks to you. I appreciate it.

P.S. I helped write The Dr Pepper Bottle and Price Guide book that was out in 2005 I believe.
I have done a ton of research on Artesian and Dr Pepper bottles, and I or any of MY EXPERTS have every seen the drawing you have. My I ask where you got it, thanx, Doyle Bailey

No problemo! But please don't share it with anyone. I consider it my "secret site." Lol []

(Actually, lots of members here are aware of and use it).

The Dr Pepper patent design can be found in the 1930s section.
