This has that great old time look and fairly strong graphics.  Only a handful of these have ever shown up on eBay and the last one was recently sold at 9.99 with no bottles, we are asking just a bit more.  The case holds 24 bottles or cans we suppose. We only gently cleaned the case and left mostly as we found it.  There is some wear to paint and dings all around, but you can examine from the many pictures we took for your consideration.
The bottles are marked as follows: They all have Pat of 98062 and are 12 ounces.
1.) DRINK Barq's IT'S GOOD, 12 oz, PAT 98026 (bottom G-976 7 7 (I) 58, fully embossed exterior with diamond pattern, very good shape

We are not experts on these bottles, but per the patent number on them, these bottles were made mostly from 1937 to 1953 which would agree with the numbers on some of the lower edges on some bottles in set (44, 51, 48).
We included bottles as they were with case when we obtained and since they are very old.   Price, of course, is primarily for metal carrier.  We will ship with utmost care (see below).
