Hey Everybody :hello: While metal detecting a cleared lot the other day I found a 6 1/2 ounce Embossed Dr. Pepper bottle. It has the 10 2 4 clock on one side and says " Dr. Pepper Good for Life" on the other side. Bottom of bottle has Johnson City, TN on it. Was wandering if anyone knew about what years this type was from and what, if anything, is it worth. I will post a pic. later if there is any interest in seeing it. Thanks for any information. HH

1923-1924: Crown finish, colorless, embossed, "Good for Life", three-handed clock. "Following their 1923 (bankruptcy) reorganization, Dr. Pepper bottles were standardized for the first time and replaced the old slogans with "Good for Life" in the tail. Four years later (1926), the company added the venerable 10-2-4 clock." Note the dates don't jive but the quote is accurate.
A lot of DP history here:
