So my wife and I are headin up towards Paduka KY. today to see what we can find. We come to this sign that says 6 Antique Shops, this exit! Yes, we stopped. The town was Cadiz or something like that. All the shops were lined up all together, downtown. She found some smalls here and there too but I found these 2 crates. $12 a piece! I think the RC is 40s era and the Orange Crush is 30s or 40s era.
I just need an older 7up and Nugrape or Grapette crate to have my complete set I think.

Hey Thanks Tom! You know, I had never seen an Orange Crush either.
Not one this old anyway. There was this antique mall in Georgia that had a Grapette one but when I went back to buy it, it was gone.
Thank you Bernie and officialfuel!
