as the title would suggest I discovered a very early Mountain Dew bottle cleaning up my deceased grandfathers garage.

Some had different "bottled by" names,cool find.

The "traditional hillbilly style" makes me think of moonshine which would explain why "it'll tickle yore innards"

I bet if one came across a bottle of this era still sealed that could be worth something

I know the feeling......I remember them from my Dads gas station in the early 70's.

Lookin' at the bottle's other side, it looks like it could be from a moonshine company, haha.

================================
HOLY CRAP.....you remember the early 70's.............just how old is ya????

I missed out on the 70's unfortunately. I'm only able to experience it through family and friends and their souvenirs such as this.

That might be worth some serious money to bottle collectors. My dad grabbed a couple of Dr. Pepper bottles from LBJ's garbage dump on his ranch when he went to fix the power problem they had at the time. They've been valued at over $1000 per.

You might be on to something there. a quick glance on ebay turned up two over $1000. then some are under under $1. wonder what makes the difference.
