are there any numbers as to how many were manufactured?

There were only 50 made and to date only 8 have been found and 4 have been restored. They were Mfg. in my home town (Hagerstown, MD) about 2 miles away at the old Victor plant. I have been through every Sq. inch of that building, even up in the lofts, nothing left. Theres a Lumber Yard there now. Across the street, theres an old RC Cola plant and in the concrete floof there is a steel plate and in the hole in the floor is where they dumped all the old RC Cola bottles. There must be a million old bottles in there.

I'm guessing that it is 'floor'. In the Waco DP Museum, they had a well inside the plant and they used the water from the well to make the DP. When the well dried up, they started throwing the old bottles down it. It is all part of the museum tour.

I guess a lot of the old bottling plants used well water located on property.
Anybody know for sure or seen similar things in old bottling plants?

I asked my Dad about my Grandpa's bottling plant he had in town and he said he too remembered a well that they used for water for bottling until the 70's.

I then asked if they ever use to throw stuff down the well, and he said actually yes. the well was very large and the opening very large so they use to throw those old vending machines down there to fill it up. He said they had these old Hot dog maker coolers, a few other machines that would take the bottle caps off the bottles and a bunch of Yellow Machines with the workds RC Cola on top or something like that!... all down the hole.. oh

I'm going to get my shovel!  biggrin
