This is a very rare one, it states, "J.T.-Ray-Otis-Arthur-Charles", on the face. It also has a painted Willy the Hillbilly on both sides of the neck. There were well over 1000 different named bottles that stated "filled / bottled by" on the face. Starting in 1964, Pepsi used the "It'll tickle yore innards!" expletive with Willy the Hillbilly on some of their bottles. In 1973, the company wanted a more mature drinker, so they abandoned the Willy character to a brighter label.
On the backside of this bottle, is, "Mountain Dew is Good!". This bottle was bottled by Dixie Refreshments Company in 1963.
This bottle is full. The condition of the graphics is near perfect, all around the bottle. The bottle has no case wear. There is one 7/8" wide chip on the bottom edge, as shown. The Mountain Dew cap looks good, as shown.
