Pepsi Memorabilia Appraisal

Pepsi Colorado Centennial Commemorative Bottle (1976)

This item is a clear glass Pepsi bottle, appearing to be standard soda bottle size, with a metal crown cap still intact. The bottle features a printed label directly applied to the glass, rather than a paper label. The top portion of the label displays the classic Pepsi logo in red, white, and blue. Below this, in white script, is the phrase "Commemorative Bottle." The central design element is a circular logo featuring "COLORADO" at the top, with the years "1876-1976" beneath it, commemorating the state's centennial. Inside the circle is a stylized '76' in white, set against a blue background, with 'CENTENNIAL' and '100 YEARS' encircling it. This central motif is framed by the phrase 'Celebrates' on the left and '100 Years' on the right, also in white. Towards the bottom, a white band with blue trim contains the slogan 'feelin' free!' in red script. The very bottom of the label reads 'LIMITED EDITION' in white text. The bottle is filled with a dark liquid, presumably cola, which adds to its preserved appearance. The glass bottle itself shows no visible cracks or chips, and the printed label appears to be in excellent condition with no significant fading, peeling, or scratches. The metal cap also seems to be original and untampered with. The overall condition suggests careful preservation, which is typical for collectible commemorative items. Given the '1876-1976' dates, the bottle dates from 1976, making it a vintage piece specific to the American Bicentennial and Colorado's Centennial.
