I would say this was made approximately 1930-1950 but I would say more around 1930 as this is a great find! The "Drink Delicious" slogan is a good indicator it is early and it is in good condition. I am not an appraiser but I would estimate that you could possibly get $500 out of it (because of the pepsi name as advertising pieces always more than a rusted out piece with no name on it)if it's in as good of shape as it appears in the photos.
I just noticed it says "more bounce for the ounce. This slogan is from 1950. This is a really cool find! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Kbow
You're Welcome. I hope you find out more about it! The estimate I gave is just what I saw on one of these at an antique store but this one is in far better condition as the other one was rusted pretty badly. Good luck!
