B-1 Lemon Lime Soda Pop Bottle
B-1 Lemon Lime Soda. 7 oz. “Contains vitamin B1.” This bottle is from around 1940. The stuff on the bottom of the bottle tells those who know where the bottle was made, when and stuff like that. I just threw in the pic of the top of the bottle because I like the sharp focus at the closest point with a slight blurring of the background. But that’s just me.

Cool bottle, I assume it was a beverage similar in flavor to the lemon lime sodas of today …
I assume so, I’ve never tasted it.
This is probably the original lemon-lime soda pop developed sometime in then early 1940′s. The soda was somewhat strong, slightly bitter flavor with a punch. All others came later such as 7up were milder. This from a 73 year old Marine

My grand daughter found one of these bottles in a creek bottom. Its in very good condition. She want to know what the value is? Please let us know. Thanks
Assuming there are no chips and it cleans up to a crystal-clear green, it’s worth about $5.
