Rare Full Six Pack of Anheuser-Busch CHELSEA bottles w/Carrier~Flop 1978 Soda
Offered is a full six pack of Anheuser-Busch CHELSEA, circa 1978. In 1978 A-B test marketed Chelsea in a few cities, Richmond,VA among them. It was a citrus based beverage with a tiny amount of alcohol, I believe 1/2 of 1% per bottle, and was marketed and sold in the Soft Drink sections of the grocery stores. It caused an uproar, and due to the controversy Anheuser Busch pulled the product before the year was out. And before it ever had any national distribution. Google A-B Chelsea, there are quite a few good summaries of the history of Chelsea, In any case, here is a six pack of Chelsea in it's carrying case. The bottles are full, but certainly are being sold as a collectible and not for consumption. There are two carriers, they are solid with some wear, and will have to be folded for shipment. There has been some tearing along the paper label on some of the bottles, which covered the top part of the bottle and the bottle cap. The paper was designed to tear there easily. Obviously quite heavy, for those at a distance, will fit into a Large Flat Rate box at $19.50. Otherwise it's USPS calculated shipping. Pretty rare to find a full bottle let alone a full six pack within carrying case. Unpacked weighs almost 7 lbs. As pictured.

Vinyl and Books are among the main items I sell online. However, at any given time I will usually offer a mix
of other items such collectible ephemera, advertising, electronics, toys, small items, militaria and other vintage
things. As such, I must add that I am not an expert in any one category of items I may be selling. Certainly,
I know more about some items than others, and that is generally made clear in the ads.Consider the photos
accompanying any auction or set sale as part of the description and examine them closely. Ask any pertinent
questions or raise issues before bidding or purchase. Items are stored in a pet-free environment, but second-hand items which come from a variety of sources, usually without provenance, are just that. strw3
