Title: Want to buy barq's 10 oz. glass bottles (please)
Post by: on June 27, 2005, 11:35:12 pm
Hi all,
I am trying to gather up at least two cases worth of empty Barq's 10 oz. glass bottles. They are the ones with raised diamond shapes just below the neck and blue painted labels.
See two photos. They need not say "Biloxi" on them like in one of the photos.
I am not collecting them for value or anything, I just really like the look of them and want to put some cases of them near my machine).
Anyone have any?

8 oz or 10 oz? 8 oz is a current production and Retro Soda has them: http://www.retrosoda.com/barobe8ou.html !
They set up at the Chicagoland Show, but if you want something it is best to order it a week ahead of time.
If you have to have the 10 oz., how much will you go up to - $5.00?

Dr. G.,
Wow, I had no idea that the 8 oz. were still in production at http://www.retrosoda.com/barobe8ou.html
Unfortunately, I want only the 10 oz. (to match in size with my other 10 oz. brand bottles). Otherwise, I could just buy a few 24 packs for a little over $1/bottle and still be able to drink the soda!
Oh well. Please let ma know, anybody, if you have any to sell. I'll pay up to $5 each, but with trying to buy a bunch of them and shipping and all, the cost will add up quickly, so less than $5 is always welcome.
I just started checking on ebay, but they are mostly single bottles which gets to be a lot of individual shipping payments. I just missed a half case or case of them a week or so ago.
Thanks guys and gals.

Kito,
There are two huge antique malls here in Daytona that I am going to go look for bottles for you today. Remember I still owe you $10 so i will see what I can find. I go to the Flea market about everyother weekend and I have been keeping my eyes open. There are 6 1/2 oz bottles everywhere but no 10oz.

Thanks so much Josh, very kind of you.
I totally forgot that you owed me any money. Guess you should have kept your trap shut.

Kito,
I just got back from the antique mall and no bottles at all. They have a Vendo 80 but it says for show only Not For Sale. Oh well everything there was overpriced.

Just a side note. Any of you who fill your machines with the current 8 oz Coke bottles. Those ****stards at Coke Cola Coporate have stopped producing the embossed 8 oz bottles and switched to a nasty looking painted bottle that is much thinner and not even the right shape. I've been buying the embossed ones when I see them trying to stock up so I can start refilling them. I was caught napping by the change and was only able to get about a case and half before they dried up around here.

Wow, here in the Chicago area it has been all painted (now mostly wrapped) for a number of years!

Strange, I've never seen those versions. I'll have to think about it. I really like the version I posted. Besides, a GREEN rootbeer bottle? Seems odd.

Johnie, I might be interested in the bottles if they are not too crazy in price. I'll be out of town next week but so I might take me a while to get back to you. You can even just tell me the location if you want beings as we're local to each other.

10-4! I'll wait for your return & just PM me, so nobody can get the "swoop" on you...you know I didn't even look at the price tag, I was too busy snooping for Barts 10 oz. bottles
guess we'll find out, the sellers pretty good about "cash" discounts" ( I've purchase stuff from him before) plus a lot of the local antique stores are running big discounts on their "cut" I just got a generic, red, progress A1 picnic cooler for $40 bucks! sandwich tray & all! as for the OH-SO Grape Bottles ,I thought it was a cool brand of grape soda bottles!

Here's one for you: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6190560703
(If you do go for it I would consider taking the Squirt and Nehi bottles for the 10 oz. Barq's and the 10 oz. embossed Coke bottle that I have)

I know this is a year old but if you need any of these bottles, I have quite a few and access to hundreds. I find these things by the piles here in Mississippi
