"Maybe? I was just saying that's what it looks like they did with the modern Pepsi cans recently. But I can't really explain what they did with your bottle unless somebody lived in that time and actually saw the change happen."

I am a retired electronics technological engineer..is it time to build a time machine?

Does anyone have Elon Musk's phone number...I want to leave a message for Tesla!!!

sorry...the cold medicine must be kicking in!

This could be a problem. Your bottle is from 1952. At least that's what the date code says.

Read this under Pepsi bottles.

looks pretty convincing...wish there was holding pin mark on the back..that would confirm it..
I am waiting for it now to arrive...this would explain why the label looks too small...the ACL
version was significantly bigger....As I was going after a display bottle for my labels it won't
offend me, but I might contact the vendor once I'm sure. I may be getting a rare label for free.
or maybe some one coloured in the corners of a once rare label or even early repro...and ruined it!

 

[bottlebugs]

Maybe it's the cold medicine or I am being optimistic...the 1952 bottles sometimes had paper
labels, like the ultra rare Dossins. No pinning required. Is this back to being a rare bottle again?
Rare bottle? Rip-off bottle? Rare bottle?
Rare label? Rip-off label? Rare label?
This is like the Celtic amulet that was Celtic, then Berber, then Celtic again.
Genies out of the bottle and playing with me?

 

[bottlebugs]

Bingo!...Its like the Dossin's...but unknown usage.
Who else used paper labels in 1952?
Is this one rare? Common?
C'mon my experts.

I don't know if I can be much help from this point on, but one thing I did notice is that here in Canada the 40s Pepsi bottles have the Pepsi Cola embossing around the neck with the bottom of the lettering towards the left, but on 1950s Pepsi bottles they changed it for some reason so that the bottom of the lettering goes towards the right and the wave in the opposite direction. I'm not sure if this is the same in the U.S, but on your bottle it's also going to the right.

Your bottle is really confusing me. I guess for now it'll have to remain somewhat of a mystery.
