Frostie Root Beer Bottle

[BottleFoundUnderground]

So I was digging around my yard and found a very old looking Frostie Root Beer Bottle, not in great condition but want to find its value.


It is about 8 inches tall, and at the bottom it has the numbers 1 and 60 with an odd G looking symbol between the two numbers, and below that are the numbers 251-2.

It was actually buried at least 3 and a half feet underground

It looks to be in nice shape! Nice find! Sorry, I can't help with any info.

If it were mine, I would just clean it up and display it with the rest of my bottles. It is not that old (maybe 1950's 60's) so value will be minimal. It is in great shape. Local bottles like that in my area would sell for $5.00 to $15.00. Nice find.

With a the chip on the mouth its a display piece IMO.... Very cool bottle though, older stuff might be deeper down.... keep on diggin!!

There are currently over 160 Frostie root beer bottles listed on EBay.
Few years back I bought over a case of 1940-50’s enameled sodas in mint condition, I wanted only the blob top quart amber beer.
I ended up giving the sodas away because I couldn’t get a buck a piece.
Ive been collecting for almost fifty years. Old bottles are a hard sell.

Old does not mean valuable. Yours is a couple years older. You might be lucky to give one away.

Funny. Seeing as I just got an offer for $80

 

[BottleFoundUnderground]

Decided not to sell just yet though, I wanna let it go up in value

Nice find. There are a bunch on ebay, they usually go for $7 to $10.

You best be jumping on that!!!

I wonder what they would pay for one in mint condition...

I would just keep it because it’s cool looking and really vintage.
