RE: Unicorn Bottle - 12/19/2011 7:08:59 PM    Ohio Rob Posts: 244 Joined: 11/15/2009 From: Massillon, O Status: offline Not as a rule.  I have about a dozen or so ACL's but the ones from Massillon are the only ones on display.  If I find a Massillon ACL I usually buy it.  Do you have a picture of the one you want?  I will keep an eye out at the Ohio sales in case one pops up. _____________________________ 35 years digging in Ohio.

RE: Unicorn Bottle - 12/19/2011 10:09:53 PM    bottlingco   Posts: 255 Joined: 1/28/2009 Status: offline Ohio Rob, I don't have a picture, but it has a large Unicorn on the front. The label is orange, with the Unicorn in blue. You would know it from the description if you saw it. I realize people that live nearby always like local bottles, but an accurate description is that it is a difficult bottle to find, because Monongahela is a small river town. I am certainly willing to step up and pay a fair price for one. I also collect all ACL bottles with pictures on them. There are equally nice bottles from every state, as most towns of any size back in the day, had a bottling company. Ohio is no exception. Don't hesitate to contact me if you come across the Unicorn or any picture label ACL. Thanks for your interest. I would love to see some pictures of your ACLs. ~bottlingco (in reply to Ohio Rob) Post #: 13

Definitely not the monopolized world we live in today, where everyone's heard of it. These monopolies help drive inflation and eliminate competition. Those were the days of Americana, that we collectors love. ~bottlingco (in reply to epackage) Post #: 15
