William Posted October 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 Picked up a vintage Dr. Pepper bottle today, my favorite soda pop. Bottled in Denison, Iowa. I'm thinking after reading up on it briefly that this one was in use during the 1930's. I am going to try to nail it down a little more accurately. Came relatively cheap too. Out of 3, the only one with the bottling factory town's name. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleized Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 Cool. Didn't know Dr. Pepper was around for so long. Would have a Dr. Pepper over a Coke anyday. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a nice find 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 I used to hang out with a bottle digger named Bill who has since passed. He had a lot of old whiskey jugs, elixirs, embossed, and Dr. Pepper. I did learn one thing about Dr. pepper hanging out w/ him, the oldest original soda pop in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The city dump from when my town was a resort town in the 1800s until around the 1940s. We had a population back then of 20,000 and had electric lights before NYC. Today it's a nice bigger small town. You can dig 10 feet down and still be in bottles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheese Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 A few people dig once in a while but hardly anyone knows about it anymore and fewer people want to go to the trouble anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every marble collector should have one, at least for a conversation piece, IMO.😉👍😁 Where we are they sell that Japanese soda called "Ramune" that still uses Codd bottles. Everyone has a blast popping open the pop and watching the marble fall. So cool! I got one today in my small Wisconsin town neighborhood grocery store.

I've been looking at the bottle tonight and wondering whether to open or not! It being lychee made me decide ... not yet. Never had lychee and am a bit wary about exotic fruit flavors. I shall wait at least until I get a second bottle. Then I will take a chance and taste it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted May 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 Looking for a little assistance in identifying the company, origin and possible age of this bottle....bottom is unmarked. Does have a purplish tint too the glass, thinking it's from exposure but not 100% sure on that. I've looked for some time but come up empty on the "HW" marking. Wish there was more to go on. Sold as an alcoholic beverage? In grocery stores as a mustard? Used in a restaurant perhaps? Thanks all 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to dig up this small thread: https://www.antique-bottles.net/threads/henry-wichert-pickle.465574/ Well, I had a little time this morning and attempted to dig up some more info on Henry Wichert. Apparently a very prominent businessman in Chicago during the mid too late 1800's. He came over from Prussia in 1807 I believe and passed around 1897. He did have a very large pickle factory that fired up in the 1870's....from what I can tell by the mold seam, it might have been made before 1910 as the seam doesn't go all the way to the end of the bottles mouth. Unless someone can find some further information I'm going with that. It's a tough one, there really isn't alot too go on out there that I can find.
