It just so happens that I have one from P.E.I- a little older than the ACLs they were talking about- but kinda neat looking- GAC Attachment (1) (in reply to bottlenutboy) Post #: 221

As you say, I have seen quite a few of them but not many of the Grattan 's. Will keep you in mind concerning the Fritz if I decide to let it go. I would say it would be a good place to go and would fit in more than well in your collection of Ginger Ale bottles. < Message edited by L C -- 6/23/2007 9:47:15 PM > (in reply to Ginger Ale collector) Post #: 222

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 7/2/2007 8:39:16 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 112 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Hi Neil, Circle A items are really popular these days. It looks like you have an early crown top of theirs. Oddly enough, none of the Circle A bottles that I know of are embossed ginger ale! To my knowledge, they all had paper labels that said ginger ale. The early ones had diamond-shaped labels that were a light yellow or green with three-leafed clover (shamrocks) that was a reference to ginger ale's Irish heritage. I have one of those bottles, but now am waiting for a label to turn up! Thanks for asking. GAC (in reply to urban archeologist) Post #: 224

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 11/18/2007 8:12:10 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 112 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Hello all- During my travels have picked up a couple of interesting ginger ales. Here's one that has quite a bit of history, and what appears to be some "artistic" license taken on the label art work. It's from Chicago, ILL, but the subject matter is in northern Georgia. Whomever owned the Citrus Products Company in Chicago was a southern patriot as the label is the Civil War Memorial in Stone Mountain Georgia. This is an interesting story, as it took 60 years to complete, finally done in 1972. While the carving shows none of the horse's legs, it turns out the bottle label reflects the original design. The bottom half of the design was scrapped to save time! The bottle label was made before the carving was finished without the legs. If you want to read more about this- go here: http://ngeorgia.com/attractions/stonemountaincarving.html You never know where a ginger ale bottle will take you!
