Any Big Cheif collectors? - 9/3/2006 1:09:48 PM    Humabdos   Posts: 446 Joined: 6/13/2004 From: Greenville Texas The Blackest land whitest people Status: offline This must really be a rare Big Chief! I don't normally collect Big Chief bottles but I thought this one was cool because of the embossing ROSEBURG DAIRY AND SODA WORKS, ROSEBURG, OREGON. From the looks of the bidding I won't be adding this one to my collection! Anyone have a book listing on this bottle?

I guess the embossed version is more common than the ACL. The embossed version sell for about 30 bucks. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to Humabdos) Post #: 2

I can't think of any other oregon soda and Dairy works.  Last year a 32 oz Big Chief from oregon sold for $900. This bottle still has six days left! Glen (in reply to bubbas dad) Post #: 4

It was from Roseburg too. Makes me want to head  to Roseburg and do some 1950's dump digging! Glen (in reply to bubbas dad) Post #: 6

RE: Any Big Cheif collectors? - 9/4/2006 11:06:44 PM    acls   Posts: 305 Joined: 6/2/2005 Status: offline There are some collectors out there who only collect BIG CHIEF brand bottles.  When rare versions come available they are willing to pay the big bucks to add them to there collection.  I have seen this ACL version come up about 4 or 5 times.  However, this one is in the best shape I have seen, and I dont' believe the others had the embossing.

I knew their where some serious Big Chief collectors out there. I have an embossed Big Chief from burns Oregon in the same mold as this one on E Bay now. Looks like this Roseburg bottle might be one of the oldest style  ACL . I would love to have this one on my shelf but I'll have to wait till I find one at a garage sale for a few bucks (in reply to acls) Post #: 13

An ACL selling for this kind of money really blows the minds of  most Oregon collectors who could care lees about an ACL.  This is fine with me as it means less competition for me!
