Nope on Nehi. Never a brand sold here at least not since 1943.
Yes, in 40's and 50's coke was in pale green bottle.
Wayback machine...
Used to take wagon and check garbage cans, vacant lots etc. for empty bottles. Got 2 cents for beer bottles and 1 cent on pop bottles. That's how amassed my fortune.
Milk when a kid, was delivered to porch by milk man. Heavy glass bottles, wide mouth, w/ paper cap. And milkman's cart was pulled by a horse!! No joke.
Keep diggin. Maybe you'll hit some emeralds or diamonds.
Sometime back you posted bunch of pics of your new place. Want to show Mrs. Capt. but can't find now. Was it on the board or e mail?
Happy for you now "livin the life"!
E mail you soon.
