Finally got a camera, shot a few pics - 5/27/2005 9:43:15 PM    dshaneb   Posts: 79 Joined: 3/2/2005 Status: offline Hey all, I just bought a digital camera and I've been experimenting with it. I thought I would put up a few shots of some of my ACL collection that turned out good. Shane Attachment (1) Post #: 1

RE: Finally got a camera, shot a few pics - 5/27/2005 11:39:20 PM    dshaneb   Posts: 79 Joined: 3/2/2005 Status: offline Thanks. By the embossed sodas, I take it you mean the two on either side of the huge root beer bottle. The embossed ones on the top shelf are old SS cokes, a Ginger Ale blob top, and my mystery amber bottle from San Francisco. I tried to get a close-up of the two deco sodas. One is a 6 1/2 oz smile with some tough dirt I can't get out, and the other, I have recently found out, is a rare BlueBird soda variant with the Bluebird in a tophat. This bottle is fairly clean.

I have some other dews, but that one is the best in my collection, the Barney and Alley. From what I have read there are less than 40 known to exist. Here's a few of the others: Attachment (1) (in reply to dshaneb) Post #: 10

RE: Finally got a camera, shot a few pics - 5/28/2005 12:04:25 AM    dshaneb   Posts: 79 Joined: 3/2/2005 Status: offline The names blurred a little on this shot. I'll take a new shot after I get the AC adaptor tomorrow. The names, left to right are Filled by Jimmy Pollard, Filled by Zeke and Rosie Belle; then a four-namer, Mark, Robbyn, Marie, & Bob; and finally a 12oz with the red and white hillbilly neck variation. In the previous pic, the bottle all the way to the left is worn, but it is a fairly rare 12oz "The Belton Bottling CO / Belton, S.C." It has the red hillbilly variation on the neck. The earlier yellow Barq's is a creme soda bottle and it is a 12oz bottled in New Orleans, LA. It is a Duraglas with a date of '60 on the bottom. I have several other Barq's root beers in red and blue I'll have to photograph later. Attachment (1) < Message edited by dshaneb -- 5/28/2005 2:45:56 AM > (in reply to dshaneb) Post #: 11

RE: Finally got a camera, shot a few pics - 5/28/2005 2:59:37 AM    dshaneb   Posts: 79 Joined: 3/2/2005 Status: offline Thanks, Mike. I have one other shot containing my huge Jumbo soda bottle, 32 oz. A large, early Phenix Nerve Beverage from Boston USA soda is next to it, which has a phoenix embossed in the writing. It has bubbles in the glass, a tooled neck below the crown top, and has "REGISTERED PAT AP. ED FOR" on the base. Behind them I have a green glass A&W bottle with screw cap that is a 1/2 gallon. More later, glad you all are getting a kick out of them. Attachment (1) (in reply to dshaneb) Post #: 13
