G - G - B - 12/5/2010 1:02:34 AM    acls   Posts: 801 Joined: 6/2/2005 Status: offline Green glass bottles, of course. Picasso had his blue period.  I am going through my green glass period.  For the longest time I didn't really appreciate these gems.  Lately, it seems to be all I am adding to my collection. Enjoy.

It was the reason I bought my third and fourth bottles, a swimsuit 7-up and a hillbilly Mountain Dew (though admittedly there was a true brand connection with that one as well having been a fan of the drink my entire life). We'll start with my absolute favorite green bottle, the Vansant, VA Lonesome Pine Beverages. This is the only true green bottle I've found from this brand, and they should have made more, because it just works.

It's just so odd, but very eye catching.

This Rock Cliff Ginger Ale sports the more familiar acl design of the brand, but adds it to a 24oz size.

It is a great little design.

No green bottle collection can be without a Dr. Enuf, it's the Staff of Life after all.  Don't want to be a thread hog so I only showed some of my favorite green bottles that weren't national brands. I love the swimsuit design 7-Up bottles, the Rums Dry with the barrel is a great bottle, green really sets off both the Mission Beverages and the Nesbitts bottles, and when you get down to it almost everything looks better in green. It can even change the most mind numbingly boring bottle into an awesome item, including swirl Pepsi bottles. If you can tell Green is my favorite color of bottle. Blue is my actual favorite color but they don't make soda bottles in blue much.

Yeah that's right the same impulse which prompted me to buy my first hillbilly Mountain Dew promted two whole collections, the Mountain Dew Collection and the Dew Imitators collection. I know Sun Drop actually pre-dates Dew, I gotta call the collection something and Dew competition doesn't tell the whole story of the huge amounts of imitators that arose on the heels of Dew's popularity, but I make a point on the page containing this collection on my site that Sun Drop came first to the Orange Lemonade game.

RE: G - G - B - 12/5/2010 6:50:09 PM    acls   Posts: 801 Joined: 6/2/2005 Status: offline Very nice nksave and morbious.  Thanks for playing along.  Nksave, the SNATCH and the GRAB are a couple of my favorites as well.  That Adam's Family looking hand on the GRAB bottle is so odd that it's great.  Morbious, I agree that the LONESOME PINE is a stunner.  It's probably the most elegant 1 color ACL out there. Bubbasdad, nksave already answered part of your question.  The SNATCH is from New Kennsington, PA.  It's a 7 ounce, and I believe it is dated 1946 (I've never felt very comfortable with dating bottles).  It's a fun little bottle.  Anyone else have some GGBs they'd be willing to share? < Message edited by acls -- 12/5/2010 6:53:34 PM > _____________________________ Click here to see my: ACL SODA BOTTLES FOR SALE & TRADE.
