hi everyone - 4/5/2007 11:10:37 AM    wonkapete   Posts: 261 Joined: 4/5/2007 From: Mobile, AL Status: offline Hello everyone.  This looks like a great forum.  Barqs19 alrerted me to this place.  I've been collecting since I was 12 yrs old (22 yrs) and have over 20,000 bottles now along with thousands of cans, many machines, clocks, signs, etc. However, bottles are still my favorite, particularly paper, foil, and foam labeled bottles.  I have written numerous articles in Soda Pop Dreams and The Soda Spectrum magazines over the years. Right now, I'm looking for Georgiana, Alabama bottles.  Anyone have any in their collection?  This is a very small town in mid-Alabama that once had a little bottling plant.  I have Barq's and Dr Pepper from there.  I have seen a Lime Cola but haven't been able to acquire one yet. Also looking for Greenville, AL bottles.  I 'think' there was a Lime Cola bottling works there but have never seen a bottle marked Greenville. Thanks! Post #: 1

RE: hi everyone - 4/6/2007 12:01:02 AM    acls   Posts: 305 Joined: 6/2/2005 Status: offline Hi wonakpete and welcome to the forum.  I really enjoyed looking at the pictures of your collection.  I would say you and I have similar tastes in bottles.  I collect all kinds of ACL bottles, but have a real fondness for weird versions of the name brands.  You definitely have some unusual ones.  I loved the Tab pics. I'll post some pics of my collection soon.   If you have any unusual Nehi or Squeeze bottles I'd love to see pics. (in reply to wonkapete) Post #: 8

I'm gonna have to hunt that one down. Appearently there was a regular paper label as well. (in reply to wonkapete) Post #: 14
