Antique pepsi bottle value?

[acdraindrps]

I found this today while I was hunting. No clue how old it is, figured someone here might be into antiques and could give me some info.

I'd say, aboutta tree fiddy. On a serious note, that is an awesome find. Hopefully someone can chime in for you.

You're supposed to take that up the tree with you.

Very cool. I havent seen one of those in awhile. I doubt its worth much money though. I'm not that old and I remember using those bottles when I was younger. I might be completely wrong so don't take my word for it.

Um antique???? That bottle is maybe 20 years old, i can remember drinking out of them.... How old are you again?????? If you are really lucky I'd say it's worth a shiny nickel!!! ( return for deposit)

15 years old or so. dont think its worth more than 5 cents man. it will look cool in your billiard room or something.

one bottle in hand is worth two in the bush.

If it helps. The logo on that bottle was used from '73-'90. Since it has a deposit that puts it after '82. I love useless information.

kewl find

i might be wrong. but i think the dep.on a 16oz bottle back then was 10cents . iwish they would go back to glass,the taste is so much better

I think NY has always been a nickel. Unless you are talking about "Returnable" bottles like Anderson, etc... I think those were a quarter if I remember right.

Hey some useful info, finally! From the little research I did I was guessing it was about 50 years old and worth about $5. Figured there might have been an expert here to give me a solid answer. It will get cleaned out and placed on a shelf somewhere here.

However, according to this site, pepsi bottles with the name pepsi-cola printed on them date back to 1953. I guess the name changed to just pepsi after that...? The site could be wrong though.

 

[acdraindrps]

Wikipedia also says labels said only pepsi from 70-87. Again, could be wrong.

Could be from 69?

Here are the logos and dates from the Pepsi site (page 24).

They are looking for a donation of $100 for that 1983 bottle. Look familiar? LOL
Or you can try to sell it on your own like these folks are and hope to get $1.50 for it:

OK, off to bed while I contemplate my lack of a life.

I believe this is correct. I remember wondering why glass bottles were 10 cents and cans were 5.

Used to love getting 8 packs of glass bottles. Was I the only one who would scrap my hand on the bottle caps because the carrying handle wasn't positioned in a friendly way?!?

I agree the taste was much better back then!!

 

[Kent E]

agree with the taste thing, glass is so much better. But... I remember back in the day having to watch where you walked because of shattered glass everywhere.
