Getting There, In a Minute, Almost Done

Getting There (The Original Collection....left overs from 100s of bottles sold.)

In a Minute (The American Collection...hoping for better 1954 Pepsi Label Set some day.)

Almost Done (The Canadian Collection...one neck band to go)

You've got some great bottles!

Thanks again SBIT!

What are your prized bottles?

You should check out your stored items. We all have them!

I was digging around in Fibber McGee's drawer yesterday and
decided to check my cupboard (Fibber McGee's annex?) too.
I found about a dozen early American figural flasks squirrelled
away. My wife "organized" things in there about 18 years ago.
I found old flags and vintage bluejeans too. I'll have to post pics
once I complete my bottle fest.

So to clarify...there is only one bottle yet to return to me...it was part of my
original collection. It was mistakenly included in the grand sell off. I had
meant to keep one "worthless" bottle. My friend has it in his back seat of his
van, and will deliver it shortly. He's a busy fellow, and I have the patience.

The two Cokes are from Italy and Greece and are my Grandchildren's through my wife.
They are not part of my collection either. (technically speaking)

The seltzer is not a bottle. (technically speaking again)

The paper labelled Pepsi from 1954 has only a partial label, and
as such, is incomplete. When it is I will consider it part of my
permanent collection. For now, it is a placeholder for #12 bottle.

How's that for justifying additions to my growing collection? It's
like the expansion in league in the NHL. First there was six, then
twelve, and now I wouldn't hazard to guess.

Well, I don't really have many or any prized bottles, but I do have a couple favorites. I have a 1940s fountain syrup Pepsi bottle that I really like the looks of and I really like my Crush bottles. 1930s and 40s Coca-Cola bottles are nice looking too. Oh and Milk of magnesia bottles have a really nice blue colour. Those are some of my favorites. I have already been looking through some of my stored bottles and that's where I found my Canada Bud bottles. I knew I had them, but forgot about the caps that were on them. Now after a couple years they are finally on display.

Sounds great! I used to collect OC bottles too, and they had an
amazing array of very pricey ones that I couldn't afford. I had an
aqua Ward's OC from England. It was nice. Never had the Pepsi
syrup, I'll bet it looks awesome in person. It's amazing what you
forget you have. Keep digging and post some pics. I like the colas.

Here's the link to a video I made about the Pepsi. A lot of my bottles are on my YouTube channel. Incase you want to see what all I have. That aqua Orange Crush sounds really nice!

The video is a YouTube short, but here it shows up as a normal video for some reason.

Its very cool...I learned a lot about the syrup bottle too...thanks for sharing!
