How many different varieties did they make? Title: Re: SODA SCALES Post by: mrsoda on May 19, 2009, 11:20:54 am you are looking at them all, that is everyone made
Title: Re: SODA SCALES Post by: Larry on May 19, 2009, 11:53:45 am Thoses are different. I actually saw the Mr. peanut scale for sale either on Ebay or the Chicagoland show about five years ago. I remember it because the price was very high. I don't remmeber how much though. I personally like the old Watlings better.
I wonder if R.C. was going through a design change at the time. I saw two versions of the pyramid bottles down south, but after that I just remember the red diamond on their bottles. I don't think Borden's could get away with the homoginized abreviation these days. Milk sales might go done. :Oo: Title: Re: SODA SCALES Post by: collecture on May 19, 2009, 12:01:18 pm Those are cool!
What is the one to the left of the Homo scale? :wow: Title: Re: SODA SCALES Post by: mrsoda on May 19, 2009, 12:19:08 pm The last mr peanut scale sold in the vegas auction for 14,000 plus buyers fee.

I believe the collector in Arroyo Grande had all the soda scales as well. Do you recall? Title: Re: SODA SCALES Post by: Seven181 on May 19, 2009, 01:00:05 pm I have seen the RC one on the left before. When I worked for Dr Pepper / 7UP the old bottler I worked for had one. Not sure what happened to it? Maybe it is still there! I better check it out!!!! Those are really neat.
