James Murrell: Dr. Pepper 'artifact' in cave worth 1986 fortune A bottle collecting story with a question: Did he sell at the right time? Comments re photo 67297 Favorite Old Photo from Larry Smith Dr Pepper Bottling plant By James Murrell I was only a toddler when it (the Dr. Pepper plant) closed. Years later I loved hunting Native American artifacts and searching caves. On one occasion my Grandfather, Dearing Fletcher, took me to a hidden cave on Harvey's Ridge. After squeezing throught the narrow opening and making our way back into a large room that had what looked like shelves along the walls, I spotted something reflecting the light from our flashlights. It was a Dr. Pepper bottle that had "Columbia Ky 1956" on the bottom. I think I later sold it to David Heskamp for 5 dollars in around 1985. - James Murrell Thanks, James Murrell, for this wonderful story and memories of some great Adair Countians. You made a killing on that bottle - but I wonder what it would be worth today? Anybody know the book price on a 1956 Dr. Pepper Bottle today.? - EW This story was posted on 2016-06-27 06:34:30
