Re: RE: Kentucky Pepsi Cola

Josh, great stuff. I love collecting Pepsi's. You have put it in my brain to find all bottlers in Michigan who have bottled Pepsi. Thanx. Hey have you found a reverse swirl yet? I always am on the lookout for them. If I come across another one and you don't have one yet, It's yours.

Thanks. I have several passions in my life. Two are Pepsi and Kentucky, so I combined them. I do have 1 reverse swirl, but it's in rough shape, lots of case wear. I'd love another, more displayable piece.

Re: RE: Kentucky Pepsi Cola

I really like your Pepsi collection! I saw you have some green paper labels and thought id share mine, even though it not from Kentucky :p Its a Detroit bottle but fully intact label! :))

I wanted to update this thread too with some recent crate pickups.

Louisville KY Double Dot Crates:

Double Size 5c

Double Crown

The Double Crown crate is my favorite design, and to have one from Louisville is awesome for me.

I've added a few more bottles recently.

A second, and better condition Danville KY Double Drum

Paper Label Lexington KY

This may be the 1st Pepsi I've seen with, what appears to be, the Anchor Hocking logo on the bottom. Not to say that is rare, it may just be a regional thing.

I went to Pepsi Fest in Indy this year and picked up these gems.

I walked past this jug 10 times, and after actually looking at it, I saw it was from KY. It's the 1st syrup jug I've seen from KY.

I finally got a Lexington KY Fountain Syrup Bottle. Got it for a great price, considering they don't come up very often for sale.

And this neat sign another PCCC member saved for me. My guess is it's likely a 1-off sign made for a special event

I've been working on expanding my Kentucky Pepsi Cola collection and I thought I'd Share a few photos. I've really tried to refine my collecting, focusing on Kentucky Pepsi bottles and not just buying up all kinds of bottles. I keep a list of all the bottles I have and that I've seen. I'm sure more exists.

The bottles listed in Yellow are shown in the photos. Again, this is a list of bottles that I know exist. I'm sure there are other out there. If you HAVE a KY Pepsi bottle that isn't listed here, please let me know so I can add it to the list. I question the Louisville Pinch bottle, but I have heard that there is one out there. Some of the bottles I have aren't in perfect shape and some not even good. But I can't pass up a KY bottle I don't have if it's within my budget.
