SPRITE NATIONAL PARK SERIES COMMEMORATIVE BOTTLES
For those collectors who are pushed for display space, or just want a challenging specialty, the Sprite National Park Series may be an answer.

In the late 1960's and early 1970's, bottlers of Sprite had a series of National Park names embossed on the bottom of their bottles.  The  park names spanned two major label generation changes, and several minor variations.  The major generation considerations are defined as the  "Shield Design", and the "Angled Name" both of which are noted for  various size bottles.

There are probably several variations of the Parks series that have not been cataloged, so check out your Sprite bottles and drop us a note if you have variations that we missed.
