Default 7 cases of old soda bottles.. worth anything?

What are the ages on these bottles? They are assorted Pepsi, Coke, 7up, Sprite, Welch's, etc.

Any info would be great. Thanks!

I'd say late 60's to the mid 70's. I'd lean more towards the 70's side. If you look on the bottom of the bottle you might can see 2 numbers giving you a year.

the 7up in the lower right corner is early 60's. If the town it was bottled in is a common bottling co. in a larger town, not worth much. From a smaller defunct bottler, can be worth nice money.

I agree with the ages on the others I can see...

but...acl's from the 60's and 70's still are worth money. Common sodas like the ones you have there can run up to 15$ each depending on condition. and again, if the town it was bottled in is a "rare" town, the bottle could be worth more.

I've seen Welch's like yours go for 12bucks.

the sprites 6-7 bucks...

nice haul of bottles.

I would have definately said 60s or 70s if they were in the old wooden crates, but being plastic crates ill leave it to the experts....
