Title: VMC 27 Pepsi Bottle Size Post by: johnnyselman on September 07, 2011, 11:12:54 am What size bottle should a VMC 27 Pepsi use? 6.5 or 8 OZ. I'm thinking its the 8 becuase the 6.5 coke that I have seems a little to short to vend correctly. Any one have some empties for sell??

If you find some old ones you could refill and recap them. I thought about doing that for the 6.5 oz bottles

I am not a Pepsi guy, so I could be wrong. Title: Re: VMC 27 Pepsi Bottle Size Post by: Eric on September 07, 2011, 09:15:58 pm Pepsi was a 12oz then went to a 10oz then there are 8oz also I'd have to dig through my bottles
to be sure...but we're talking the old 40s 50s before the swirl style... which are more plentiful I think those were 10oz check ebay there are crate fulls all the time. Title: Re: VMC 27 Pepsi Bottle Size Post by: johnnyselman on September 07, 2011, 09:18:35 pm Oh Great!!! Just throw another in the mix for me to figure out!! :tounge: Just kidding. I didn't think about 7oz J. ust looked on Ebay and there is some 7oz listed but more 6.5's. So I guees they made both. Different time periods I guess?? I'va ask some of the sellers for the heights but have heard back from any one.
Title: Re: VMC 27 Pepsi Bottle Size Post by: johnnyselman on September 07, 2011, 09:25:53 pm Eric, If you would check and post the height and diameter it would be greatly appreicated. On ebay I'v seen 6 1/2, 7, 8, 10, 12 and 16 oz listed . If you have some for sale that fits I will buy. Just looking for run of the mill not collectable ones.
Thanks,Johnny |
