Odd Squeeze ? - 11/16/2007 7:04:40 PM    Sam_MaineBottles Posts: 366 Joined: 4/5/2004 From: Mid-coast Maine Status: offline I have a 1956 7 oz.  ACL Squeeze bottle from Squeeze Bottling Works in Houlton, ME.  The ACL colors are yellow and black.  Is this color combo common?  I thought Squeeze bottles were usually black and white ACL or maybe yellow and white (I have a 12 oz. green bottle from the same company in black and white).  Any input would be appreciated.

RE: Odd Squeeze ? - 11/16/2007 10:33:50 PM    acls   Posts: 305 Joined: 6/2/2005 Status: offline Hey Sam.  I collect all sorts of ACLs, but the Squeeze bottles are one of my favorites.  The yellow and black ACL version was only found in Maine.  I have seen versions from both Houlton and Dexter. The price for this color combo can bring anywhere from $30-$100.  At least that is what i have seen them go for on ebay.  I would like to see a pic of the b/w green glass 12 ouncer you have (hint hint).  I have a 7oz b/w-green glass from Maine, but have never seen the 12 ounce version.  I'd pay good money for a 12 ouncer if you find another. < Message edited by acls -- 11/16/2007 10:54:58 PM > (in reply to Sam_MaineBottles) Post #: 4

RE: Odd Squeeze ? - 11/18/2007 9:35:07 PM    Sam_MaineBottles Posts: 366 Joined: 4/5/2004 From: Mid-coast Maine Status: offline Thanks for your info on the Squeeze bottle - I appreciate it. Squeeze is a great ACL, that pic of the two kids sitting side by side is a classic. I'm glad we're having this discussion on Squeeze bottles, I went out to the garage to get my green 12 oz. bottle to take a pic only to find that it was actually a 7 oz.  I was at a fellow collector's house a few weeks ago and he's selling off most of his bottle collectionn, he had a green 12 oz. but I told him I was all set, thinking mine was the same size.  I thought it was a little pricey as well at $50 but guess I better pick it up after all (you'll be first in line acls if I do find another). Actually the 28 oz. bottle in the pic below is my favorite, also from Houlton, ME.  The black/white one is from Gardiner, ME. acls, could you check on your Dexter Squeeze for me?  I don't even have any of the bottlers from that town as bottling Squeeze. Attached is my Squeeze group shot. _____________________________ Author of 'Maine Bottlers and Their Bottles, 1840-1980' Attachment (1) _____________________________ Author of 'Maine Bottlers and Their Bottles, 1840-1980' (in reply to acls) Post #: 5

I saw that y/b ACL on green glass on ebay.  I thought it might be a stained w/b one.  Any thoughts? _____________________________ Always looking for unusual ACL versions of Nehi, Lemmy, Squeeze, Smile, Spiffy, RC, Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew, Barq's, Frostie, 7up, and Sunrise.

I'd have to have a shotgun pressed to my head before I bid on a pop bottle. Even then maybe no...

RE: Odd Squeeze ? - 1/6/2008 9:15:20 PM    Sam_MaineBottles Posts: 366 Joined: 4/5/2004 From: Mid-coast Maine Status: offline Hi Matt –  I believe that the green bottle listed on the bay is a yellow ACL.  I’ve attached a pic of a duplicate clear Squeeze bottle I have with the yellow/black ACL (from the same bottler in Houlton).  As you can see in the pic, where the yellow has faded it has a white base underneath (kinda makes it look like they’re sitting looking at the full moon).  I’d say the one on the bay is similarly faded. I’ve never seen a green one with that color combo before but a month ago I hadn’t seen or heard of a green 12 oz. either, so why not!    As far as sodas go, I like them all – squats, blob tops, hutches, embossed, paper labels and ACLs – they are all special in their own way to me.

RE: Odd Squeeze ? - 1/6/2008 10:16:00 PM    acls   Posts: 305 Joined: 6/2/2005 Status: offline Sam-  I meant to say that 12 ouncer is a beaut.  That is one nice looking bottle.  So it looks like that ebay bottle is a y/b on green glass.  That's really exciting.  Now I have 2 new versions to add to the wish list. _____________________________ Always looking for unusual ACL versions of Nehi, Lemmy, Squeeze, Smile, Spiffy, RC, Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew, Barq's, Frostie, 7up, and Sunrise.
