Here is an Orange Crush 6-pack paper carton in good shape. As you see in the pictures to the left, one side is faded, so I must assume that the carton was unfolded at some point and had one side toward a window. Apart from that and the surface loss seen at the bottom of the carton in the picture top left, I would judge it to be in good condition, given its age. I can’t tell you what year this is from because I simply don’t know. The “ONE WAY BOTTLES” says that it fell after the time of deposit bottles, so I’m thinking early 1970’s?
I have to be honest enough to say that while I find it easy to fold one of these flat, I’m always a bit nervous about trying to UNfold one, in case I pull the wrong part at the wrong time and tear it; I have NOT unfolded this one; you will receive it the same way I acquired it, which is folded flat. Your carton will be shipped in a mailer designed to ship LP record albums so that it can arrive safely.
Grapette Yellow 6-pack paper carton in good shape. I acquired it folded flat, so that is how it will arrive with you. As pictures show, it is in really nice condition and there is very little, if any fading. Color is strong and the paper is still somewhat reflective, as evidenced by the light-bounce in the two left hand pictures. This one is pre-1970’s, I think, showing the admonition to return the bottles.
The company seemed very interested in assuring moms that this was a wholesome product for kids, even to the point of using the word “healthful.”

Grapette traditional colors of orange and purple, 6-pack paper carton in good shape. I acquired it open as you see it in the photos, but will fold it flat for shipping. As pictures show, it is in really nice condition and there is very little, if any fading. Color is strong and the paper is still smooth pretty much everywhere except for that insignificant area on the bottom that you see in the picture lower right. I don’t possess enough knowledge about every item in every venue to give an exact date of manufacture, but what stands out to me is that there is no reference of deposit/return in either direction. Makes me of a mind that this carton was made before there were such options; that is my OPINION.
