Shipping: FREE domestic shipping. We DO ship Internationally but we do NOT insure International orders UNLESS BUYER SPECIFICALLY REQUESTS THIS AND WE ARE ABLE to provide an insurance estimate. It is becoming increasingly difficult to insure international orders and the price can exceed the price of the item, which can negate the sale. If an international shipping charge is much more than the actual shipping cost, we will refund the excess so what YOU pay for shipping/insurance is very close to, if not exactly, the ACTUAL shipping costs! This is important for foreign buyers to know as most of our foreign shipping charges are estimates. We do not falsify information on the Customs Form, such as a price other than what the actual purchase price is, so please do not request us to do so. We ship several times a week and your prompt payment will hasten the turn-around time.

A great old soda bottle for several reasons; 1) It is nicely embossed with a picture of a large standing Grizzly Bear. 2) It is from MISSOULA MONTANA, the old west country. 3) The Grizzly Bear is the Montana State animal and seems to be the state mascot as many Montana businesses are named after Grizzly Bears with pictures of them (as seen on this bottle) being the trade mark motifs. 4) These bottles have always been scarce BUT in the last few decades they have become down right RARE, check it out!
