Why I Hung Sheetrock or A Jewel From Ga. - 4/29/2008 4:17:05 PM    OsiaBoyce Posts: 1561 Joined: 12/8/2005 From: Chinquapin, S.C. Status: offline What? You thought you was going to see one of the River Swamp Chill or whatever they are. This is better,I think so and that's all that matters. This was bottled in downtown Atlanta in 1953 and was owned by a Black bottler, maybe he was brown. The case being this is probably the no. 2 ACL from Ga., the no.1 being Big Hit. Paula did roll her eyes on this one, said better be glad it didn't cost what I bid. Damn near. How can ya not like that Mr. Lobey?

It kind of tells a story, gives you a sense of history. 1953 downtown Atlanta had to be a hard place, especially for a brown boy. This gentleman went out and and tried to get himself a piece of the American dream. Dispite the obstacales that had to be in place he made an attempt to go git him some. To this northern boy it says something about the quiet dignity of the human spirit.

I live about 60 miles from ATLANTA and I know it was rough on BROWN BOYS in the 50s where I live ,though I was born in 1953 ,I still remember the COLORED AND WHITES ONLY SIGNS around town and wondering ,WHY? It felt like it, JUST WAS ,DON'T ASK QUESTIONS! THANK GOD FOR THE 60s AND A BREAK IN THE LONG CYCLE OF RACISM![Though it took till at least 65 or 66 to  see much of a difference here] AT LEAST IT AIN'T LIKE IT WAS! I used to have a BOBS COLA,where does that rank on the GA.acl list? Just a poor white boy trying to play that funky music right! < Message edited by glass man -- 4/29/2008 10:06:45 PM > _____________________________ OH Lordy,trouble so hard.Oh Lordy,trouble so hard.

Made my day. A lot of the lables on soda bottles tell stories,not just this one. Terry that's a bower, ya know for climbing plants. It'll get covered over and we'll have a shady place to sit. I said SIT.  Yall aint got 'em in Alerbamer? Glassman "Bobs" is as common as it gets. HQed in Atlanta,bottled in Ga. and the Carolinas. Of the two here the one on the right is kinda scarce. Left got 'em by the ton.

There is a green glass version of that bottle too.  I have only seen a picture of it so I am guessing it is super rare. _____________________________ 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.
