How old is this Dr Pepper and what may it be worth?

[comisoas]

I found this DR Pepper bottle and was wondering how old it might be and how much it is worth to a collector? On the bottom is: Duraglas 6-2870; 3, a symbol and 51; on the front is a 10, a 2 and the 4 on the bottom. Thanks a lot.

Ive seen many simular with the pyro painted label but embossed like that one isn't as common. .. 1951 could be the manufacturer date as the design and style fit that era... value ? I don't know.. do a Google search and see if you find same bottle on fleebay..that ones in pretty good shape...

You do know the significance of the 10-2-4 , don't you ?

No I sure don't.

10-2-4 It represented the times during the day that workers took their breaks and drank a Doctor Pepper . I remember my parents and grandparents saying this, and they actually did it when working in the tobacco fields.
