Description: A massive estate assortment of vintage collectible glass soda bottles and an original commemorative cardboard carrier. The multi-piece grouping features two antique amber glass blob-top or crown-top bottles from Pennsylvania bottlers, two vintage 7-ounce green glass 7Up bottles with applied color labels (ACL), a green glass 10-ounce returnable Diet Coke bottle, a clear glass classic contour Coca-Cola bottle, a 10-ounce amber glass Dad's Root Beer bottle with its paper label, a clear glass 10-ounce Gem Better Beverages diamond label bottle, a clear Canada Dry bottle, and a six-pack cardboard carton containing a full set of six commemorative 10-ounce Coca-Cola bottles celebrating the 1968 Ohio State Buckeyes National Championship.
Dimensions: Commemorative 1968 Buckeyes bottles stand 9.75 inches high with a standard 10 fluid ounce capacity rating. The 7Up bottles stand 8 inches high with a 7 fluid ounce capacity.
Markings: The antique amber bottles are heavily embossed with makers reading "V. JOSER / PITTSBURGH, PA." and "RAPHAEL & ZEUGSCHMIDT / PITTSBURG, PA." The green bottles feature the signature "7Up" graphics with slogans reading "YOU LIKE IT / IT LIKES YOU." The Dad's bottle features its classic boy logo reading "JUNIOR SIZE / DAD'S Old Fashioned ROOT BEER" with a base tracking code number 1292. The commemorative carton is boldly lithographed with the red and white text reading "1968 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS / ROSE BOWL CHAMPIONS / OHIO STATE BUCKEYES 25th ANNIVERSARY" and lists the full seasonal game schedule scores.
Condition: Excellent vintage and antique preservation. The glass bodies across the entire assortment are structurally intact and completely free of chips, cracks, or deep structural fractures. The historic applied color labels (ACL) on the 7Up, Diet Coke, and Gem bottles are remarkably crisp with minimal scratching. The Dad's Root Beer paper label is firmly attached with light edge scuffs. The 1968 Buckeyes commemorative cardboard carrier maintains vibrant color tones with only minor shelf rub along the outer corner seams, and the enclosed bottles are well-preserved.
