a few bottles - 6/29/2007 4:34:19 PM    wonkapete   Posts: 261 Joined: 4/5/2007 From: Mobile, AL Status: offline I just picked up a few bottles... about 3500.  Supposedly some good ACLs in the mix.  They are being freighted in next week.  This was the late Tom Marsh's collection.  Some of you may have his book on ACL bottle collecting.  Robert, I'll let you know what all Barq's are in there.

I have Tom Marsh's first book and I wore it out.  It introduced me to all sorts of ACLs that i never knew existed.  There should be some real gems in there.  You are a lucky man. < Message edited by acls -- 6/30/2007 12:06:29 AM > (in reply to wonkapete) Post #: 4

Then I will know what to look for. Thanks (in reply to morbious_fod) Post #: 6

RE: a few bottles - 6/30/2007 1:29:24 PM    acls   Posts: 305 Joined: 6/2/2005 Status: offline I took a picture of Tom Marsh's book for you Doug.  This one is Volume 1.  He put out a Volume 2 that I don't have.  It was one of the only books on ACLs in the early nineties.  The pics are black and white and some of the bottles pictured are hard to see in the photos. The prices for the bottles listed were never very accurate (price guides ususally aren't).  At the time though I was glad to have it.  I got to see bottles I didn't know existed. I would go to bottle shows hoping I would be able to find a bottle that caught my eye in the book.

I just hope they survived the trip. I'll be leaving Wednesday morning to go to Nashville for the National Coke convention so I probably won't have a lot of time to look through them.  I'll be posting pics when I get back...
