Case of old Coke bottles

[bremett]

I'd really like a candy stripe Dr Pepper bottle. They aren't too easy to get, but one is on Ebay right now. I think the last one on there went for about $600 or so. http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-CANDY-STRIPE-DR-PEPPER-BOTTLE-/230669136413?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35b4f3b21d

When I was a kid my brother and I would go back into the woods and dig bottles out of the side of the creek. We used a wood burning kit and made a sign that read "D and D's Dig". We posted it there in the early 80's. I wonder if it's still there. I guess the people back when would just dump their trash over the hill. After rains, particularly in the spring, we would find bottles sticking out of the side. I still have some of them and I know they have the Dec. 25th marking on them. At one point I was collecting any pop bottle from Youngstown, Ohio (I was born there). I still have those, but they aren't displayed and I have no idea what to do with them other than storing them in the crawl space.

This one has a starting bid of $850....little bit out of my price range, but would like to have one. I've seen them go for as much as $1200+/- in the early 2000's.
I modeled my DP WB-60 marquee after the candy stripe design.

I'll start a new "holy grail" thread then.  The reason I am curious is because the possible auction I posted a couple weeks ago....we got it!!!  The auction will go in October.  I'll post a separate thread about it later with a few pics.

I just looked at some bottles. I saw the Dec. 25 date, and on others Pat.D105529.   I assume the Pat.D bottles are newer, but how new? Was there a wide range of years when the Dec. 25th bottles and the Pat.D bottles were made?
