Mobile, AL bottles - 10/7/2008 12:41:57 AM    wonkapete   Posts: 261 Joined: 4/5/2007 From: Mobile, AL Status: offline OK, here's a 'few' cases of my Mobile (Prichard and Spring Hill)  bottles.  I've concentrated on Mobile bottles for a long time now.  Carre and Pallisers were in business from the 1850s\1860s to the 1930s\1940s so the styles, shapes, and colors of their bottles seem almost endless.  If anyone has any Mobile bottles for sale, let me know.  Let's start with a few blobs: The air bubble in that Clark and Wells is just killer!!  Ever seen one that big?? ..moving into the hutches.. then into crown tops The second one is a Clark and Carre - only one I have like that - Carre only teamed up with Clark in 1874. a debossed Dr Pepper.. All Mobile Cokes.. The second bottles is a Carre flavor water bottles.. the debossed Dr Pepper was a few pics up.. here's the embossed one: The Brownie has always been one of my favs.. another Carre product: The Ginger Ale is another Carre product.. nice heavy bottle: First one is a Russ Beverage.. only one I've ever seen. A nice New Yorker.. paper label reads 'Palliser Beverage Company, Mobile, AL'... Now, the 'new' bottles.. all ACLs are marked 'Mobile'... We'll start off with a few variations of Russ - these are fairly early bottles with poor paint so when dug, the labels are almost always gone.. the Barq's and Red Rock are bottled by Russ: Another drink bottled by Russ: Different sized Foskos: The Triple H is from Southern Beverages in Mobile.. The following Diet Rite and Nehi are from Royal Crown Cola in Mobile: From Grapette Co, which was on Virginia Street: 7ups.. Post #: 1

RE: Mobile, AL bottles - 10/7/2008 7:46:22 AM    digger mcdirt   Posts: 910 Joined: 8/8/2005 Status: offline Nice bottle collection. I have a large Mobile amber drugstore bottle here somewhere I dug out of a privy. I was thinking the other day I may put it on the bay since I don't collect Mobile bottles and it's a colored druggist bottle. You may not collect druggist bottles but when I locate it again I will let you know . bob (in reply to bubbas dad) Post #: 5

My favorites were the blob and the wooden stoppered gravitating stopper bottle. Great stuff Jerry. Do you dig or mostly buy? _____________________________ 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 morbious_fod) Post #: 7

RE: Mobile, AL bottles - 10/7/2008 8:30:55 PM    wonkapete   Posts: 261 Joined: 4/5/2007 From: Mobile, AL Status: offline John,  I posted a group of Kists on here last year.  I believe I had 3 or 4 you didn't have. Bob, yea, I don't really collect druggist bottles.  I have a few dozen that I've picked up along the way but don't actively search for them. Warren, I dug a of these and sometimes buy.  I started collecting when I was 12 yrs old so back in my teenage years, I did a lot of digging.  My dad worked for the railroad and he would take me to old dump sites around Tibbie and Chatom, back in the woods and we'd just fill up bags of bottles, then come home and pick ticks! haha.  I haven't dug in in a while.  I miss it.  Subdivisions going in everywhere we used to dig.
