Love them old fashioned designs! There's a lot going on with each one. They made 'em heavy duty back then too. Nice!

Absolutely! That's why I love digging and collecting them. So many designs.

Very cool! Didn't realize you were from Indiana. We are in Kokomo a couple of times a year and my wife went to school in Danville

Found Another!

Found this Barq's Root Beer over the weekend. Dated 1957. I highlighted the embossing with a marker as it was kinda hard to see:

That is just so gorgeous, back in time even farther than I can remember. Where are you finding them?

Was checking out an old muddy pond and this was sticking out of the mud. This time of the year is tough because the woods are so overgrown with vegitation it's hard to see anything; I like looking in late winter and spring before mid-April. By May the woods are growing like wildfire. I like walking the woods, along streams, and places where houses were, probing my arms off, Ha!
