Status: offline 		Thanks a lot for the info.  It is a better bottle than I thought.  I only have a few more acl's and I may put them on here for people to look at.  I put these bottles into another post but should have put them here.

Status: offline 		Nice bottles ... and all originating in the west. (With possible other locations I'm not aware of).

Heep Good  ...  Washington state
Roselle ..........   Idaho
Beehive .........   Utah

My guesstimate of the most valuable being the Beehive @ appx. $35.00/$50.00  The other two are probably more in the $5.00/$10.00 range.  All are "keepers" in my opinion.  I especially like the Heep Good and have a couple of them myself. 

Thanks again,

SPB

Shares some commonality with the Big Bottle from Welch, WV.



Hey Morb ~

I meant to ask you about this earlier but got side-tracked. Do you happen to have a photo of the "Big Bottle" you mentioned?  If so I sure would like to see it. 

Thanks,

SPB

Thanks a truck load!

Here's mine for comparison. I'm going to look at 'em for a minute and then comment.  Super!

Status: offline 		Close enough for a country boy!  We've all seen the "high" ribbon "low" ribbon version of this design. It must have been pretty popular at the time. I've seen other names on this same type of bottle. I'm starting to like deco bottles more and more all the time. And I think it's obvious why so many of them seem to have chips. It's likely because there were so many embossments that would chip with just the slightest bump. One theory anyway. ???   Maybe I'll find a better one someday.

Thanks,

SPB

Status: offline 		Here's another bottle I found on my recent road trip to Vegas. I finally got around to cleaning it. It was so rust stained I thought it would never clean up. But after soaking it in distilled white vinegar for a couple of days it turned out better than expected. But even after a good cleaning there is still nothing very unique about the label. In fact, it's kind of blase'. About the only thing it has going for it is that it is from Globe, Arizona ... which is a small town in the desert foothills about 50 miles east of Phoenix. Globe has a colorful mining history and is right on the border of the fairly large San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation. I don't imagine there are too many of these bottles around. I filled it with food coloring to give it a grape flavored appearence. It's a "Purity Brand" ... Owens-Illinois ... 10oz. ... 1950.  Maybe TJSJHART (Who I believe lives in Arizona) can tell us more about it.

Actually that is the design for the Julep bottle below.

Status: offline 		Bingo!  I knew I had seen that design somewhere ... well, 99.9% that is. The Julep bottle has about 9 ribis touching the ribbon, where the Root design has about 5.  But a "gotta be it!" design no matter how we slice it. I bet there are other variations too. I wonder what glass factory(s) were making these type of bottles and where? Of the few deco bottles I have none of them have a maker's mark or any other specific date, etc. codes.  Cool bottles anyway. 

Thanks,

BingoBangoBongo ... a.k.a.  SPB

Status: offline 		I was dusting off some of my "Out West" collectibles this morning and put together this sampling of "Big Chief" bottles along with a variety of other items. Almost everything shown is from the 1950s, including the majority of the bottles, all of which have Coca Cola Bottling Co. on them. Notice the Big Chief bottle opener and caps. This is just a fraction of my extensive southwest collection that primarily focuses of souvenirs once available in roadside trading post and curio shops. Someday I hope to do a book on this type of collectibles, but that is often more easily said than done. I especially like the "Skookum" doll on the left, whose origin goes back to the railroad days when Indians would sell them to passengers. This particular one is from the late 1940s, early 1950s, and worth about $100.00. But some of the much older ones from the 1800s go for much more. Following this I will post a photo of the Big Chief bottles by themselves.

Thanks for stopping by ...

Here ya go! Now you can't say I wasn't nice and didn't "share" my favorite (and most valuable) Big Chief bottle with you. Besides, you didn't say "please" when you called me "the son of a flea bitten mongrel."  Lol .  As you will see on the next page, this bottle is from Ely, Nevada. (I posted this same bottle previously). But this time I have included a Big Chief bottle opener from "Cave of the Mounds, Wisconsin". I really dig the plastic attachment of the headressed Indian chief. The bottle itself is 1955 - Owens-Illinois - 9 oz. (odd size). I'm not sure exactly what it's worth, but I wouldn't part with it for less than $100.00. So be "nice" now and offer me $200.00 and it's your's. 

SODA "MONGREL" BOB

Later,

Status: offline 		I was thumbing through my acl book last night and came across this "Out West" bottle I had never noticed before. It goes without saying (but I will anyway) that "I just gotta have one!" So if anyone who reads this happens to have one for sale, please let me know. About all I know about it is that it dates from around 1956, has an all white label, and originated in Colorado Springs, Co. And even if nothing turns up for sale, I would still like to see a full-image photo of one if somebody has it to share.

Thanks,

SPB

Great bottle! I wonder what the "SILVA" part of the label means? You should also post it on 'sodapop's' thread, "Show me your Oklahoma bottles."  Currently you can find it on page two of the title listings.
