First is my local ACL Chero from Johnson City Tenn, which arrived in the mail earlier this week. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

No it isn't full, I just thought it would look better with orange soda in it. Unfortunately there wasn't a town name of course. Attachment (1) (in reply to morbious_fod) Post #: 2

A very nice 7-up crate from Marion, VA. It is one of the most mint crates I have ever found.  Attachment (1) (in reply to morbious_fod) Post #: 4

I also found a Bristol, VA-Tenn 7-up bottle from the swimsuit days, another KBW local bottle from Bristol, VA (I wanted a pair), and a 1919 Was-cott ginger ale paper label bottle without it's paper label.

Ok I didn't want to create another on so I resurrected one of my older posts. Give my creation LIFE! Ok too much horror movie watching lately. Got a couple from eBay and one from an antique mall. The first one is the "I didn't find anything but this is two bucks, so what the heck" bottle, a returnable Dodge City to go with the ND/NR I picked up last weekend. The next one is a 12oz Spur Cola from Pocahontas, VA. Now for the last one, has anyone else ever picked up a bottle for pure narcissistic reasons, well that is what this one was. It's a Lee Beverages from the Lee Beverage Co. in Petersburg, VA, my last name is Lee and I have been wanting this bottle for a while. I don't think they are all that common, but I don't know for sure. It will go nicely with my straight side Lee soda water bottle from Coca Cola Bottling Works in Clarksburg, WV.

I just recieved a new bottle, it's the one on the right, the other one I've had for a while. They are paper label Mission Sparkling beverages from the 20's and 30's. The one on the left is a Grapfruit, and the other one is the Orange version. There is a lemon version that I have yet to find a good one of. You might recognize the bottles, they are the ones that are black with Mission Dry Beverages or some variant of that wording on the bottom, this is what they look like with their labels.

First off are the new aquisitions that I have picked up on ebay and the local area. From left to right: A Canada Dry Club Soda bottle from Bristol, tenn, a flint glass looking Chero-Cola bottle from Bristol, VA-TENN, a straight side Pepsi from Appalachia, VA (this is my first straight side Pepsi), a 32 oz Cheerwine bottle, and a Snow Crest Beverages bank/syrup bottle I picked up today for seven bucks. The green liquid in the Pepsi is Lime away, I'm hoping to shift a couple of small stains in the bottle.

It has been partially restored (painted bezel, new power cord, maybe new glass); however, the face and workings are original and in good shape, and it works. Not too bad when you concider that repros go for nearly two hundred bucks. I paid $140 for it, maybe got taken a bit, but I don't care because I love it. That tourquoise paint job really sets this piece off.

I'd seen the bear bottles before; however, most of the time they were going for nearly thrity bucks. I just couldn't resist at seven bucks. The clock was originally $160 and I talked them down to $140. I would have been hard pressed to pass it up at $175 as well. I have been wanting one since I started collecting. _____________________________ My website chronicling the soda bottling companies of the Southwest Virginia or Northeast Tennessee area including Bluefield, Princeton, and Rock West Virginia www.tazewell-orange.com NEW ARTICLES: Just say Mil-Kay the story of Mil-K-Botl (in reply to ajohn) Post #: 19
