1914 Coca-Cola Pepsin Gum Jar with the original from the collection of RBC member Tom Walsh
Raleigh Bottle Club Newsletter

Bottle Talk Feature Of The Month
Tom Walsh shows his nice Coca-Cola
chewing gum jar. Jars like this, with
the original lid, are extremely hard to
find. If you only have the jar, expect
to deal out another two or three
hundred dollars for an authentic lid.
The ad shown below shows the
chewing gum that was sold from these
jars. If you want the chewing gum to
go with your jar, you might want to
start saving your money. The gum
might very well have more value than
the jar and the lid.

SHOW AND TELL
Pem Woodlief has one of the most varied and interesting collections of old and antique items that
you will ever see. It is always interesting to see what he brings to the meeting. The rare canning jar
above is from Pem's collection. The Ball canning jar has an unusual stamped bale lid pressed from
sheet metal. This type jar was manufactured for only two years...1898 and 1899. Why don't you
show up at the next RBC meeting and see what's going on. You'll be glad you did.

This colorful little ink was purchased in England on a recent trip by RBC member Whitt
Stallings. This nice teal colored ink was purchased for less than $25.00. It was accidentally
knocked off the shelf onto one of Whitt's nice Raleigh Dispensary flask. The cost of owning
this little ink bottle shot quickly to a new level. Maybe it was a ghost that did it.

This nice cobalt blue quart Stafford's ink
bottle was shown by Whitt Stallings. These
were used in schools during the early 1900's
to fill the smaller ink wells. The pour spout
made the job much easier.
Sterling Mann recently purchased this rare
Civil War Reunion flag honoring the 4th
Virginia Regiment, Winchester, Va. The flag
shows all the battles in which this regiment
participated. This is an extremely nice piece.
The photo doesn't show just how nice this
historic piece is. Thanks Sterling for sharing
this with us.

Jerry Higgins brought this nice art deco BEAR CAT soda bottle from Maryville, Mo. for "show and tell". The art work and detail in this bottle is quite unusual.
Tom Walsh brought this unusual Corn exhibition jar to "show and tell". In 1878 Burlington and Missouri Railroad began selling excess land to draw settlers to areas along their rail line. These jars, full of the best and largest corn kernels, were exhibited to show the growing potential of the land.

Pem Woodlief was looking around some
of his newly acquired real estate and
uncovered this nice Henderson
Dispensary bottle. He is looking forward
to getting back to the property with his
probe and shovel. No... He does not
want any help.

Items from Jack Murdock's Sports Memorabilia Collection
Jack is an avid collector of N.C. sports memorabilia. We were treated with a look at his collection of early pennants. No matter what school you have an allegiance to I think you will be amazed at this collection. You probably can guess.....Jack loves those Demon Deacons.

READER FEEDBACK
This unusual piece of Coca-Cola memorabilia was sent to me by Bottle Talk reader and friend, Bill Baab, from August, GA. This is quite an unusual envelope with a Coca-Cola letterhead and the Hires advertisement on the back. Maybe some of our N.C. historians can explain the relationship that might have existed in 1913 between Coke and Hires. Thanks to Bill for this nice item and for his help and encouragement to me when I first started as Editor of Bottle Talk.
