Status: offline 		Since this thread 'popped' up again, I thought this would be as good a time as any to update it a little. It is intended to help re-establish the 1934 date. It is dedicated in part to the newcomers of the hobby of collecting acl soda bottles. And, as always, I also wish to express my appreciation to everyone who contributed information and pictures in the past. I hope everyone past and present finds it to be both informative as well as fun.

Misc. quotes and links related to the 1934 date. But finding a "Brownie Club" or any other acl soda bottle from that year is a horse of an entirely different color.


In 1934, the bottling industry made first use of Applied Color Label referred to by collectors as ACL or Painted Label Soda Bottles. This baked on coloring on the face of the bottle eventually made bottle embossing and paper labels almost obsolete on glass soda bottles, and created an outstanding collectable.
Above found on link below under the heading of  "Bottle Revolution"
                                                                         ~*~
By far the majority of designer soda bottles were produced in the 1920s. The need for such elaborate design was in later decades reduced by the introduction of the ACL (Applied Color Label) bottles which had brightly colored labels that served to catch the eye of the customer.  The process was introduced in 1934. For more information on that topic see my article on Soda bottles of 1937 . 
                                                                        ~*~
1934 Applied color labels first used on soft drink bottles, the coloring was baked on the face of the bottle. http://inventors.about.com/od/sstartinventions/a/soft_drink.htm                                                                        ~*~ According to Paquette (1994:81) Owens-Illinois introduced Applied Color Lettering (ACL) in 1931, although other sources place the date of the practical application at 1934. http://www.sha.org/research_resources/newsletter_articles/lockhart.cfm In my opinion, this 1935 7up acl (contributed by wonkapete) is still the grandaddy of them all!

Status: offline 		I'm excited to add this "Jumbo ~ A Super Cola" as the current earliest ACL soda bottle known. It was contributed by super-member Morbious_Fod. Thanks Morb. You are a credit to the hobby. 

                 3 <(I)> 4  ~ Owens-Illinois ~ Plant No.3 Fairmont, West Virginia ~ 1934 

            I'm looking forward to the day when I can post a 1933 or earlier. If they exist?

Thanks for the list. It could be that many of them are early acls. The tricky part is varifying them with pictures of the bases. And speaking of bases, how'z about one of the "Brownie Club." Yoo too can be a star with a 1934! (Lol)

Status: offline 		I just picked up a nice early RI ACL.  It's an Alka-Time from West Barrington.  It was made by the Deep Rock Co., which I have two ACLs from that have dates of 1937 and 1938.  This one is a 1938.

For some reason the label looks horrible.  It is faded but still very much yellow with no traces of white.


Again a lousy shot, but a clear 8 with no dot.

Cool, early acl. I never heard of that brand before. I looked in my 2002 edition ACL book and found the one pictured below. Notice it has different wording than yours. The one in the book is from Las Vegas, Nevada. It indicates at that time (2002) it was somewhat common and valued at appx. $10.00. But it does not give a date when it was made. I wonder how many different city/states produced that brand?

Thanks again.

Status: offline 		found a little info
Dr. Wells was developed and introduced in 1935 as a “pepper-style” carbonated soft drink by Ludford Fruit Products of Los Angeles, California. Ludford Fruit Products was located on S. Western Avenue in L.A., and was also the National Headquarters for Alka-Time and Hollywood Beverages. The Monarch Beverage Company of Atlanta purchased the brand in 1987. In 2007, Dr. Wells was purchased by Hedinger Brands, LLC and licensed to The Dad’s Root Beer Company, LLC. The company headquarters is now located in Jasper, Indiana.
