Flomaton, AL Cold Shot

Finally found a whole one. Turns out that the good Dr. had his own soda thing going for a few years in Flomaton. Wonder what was in it, and what it tasted like??? It's a root bottle with the date code of 1927.

Boll Weevil acl

All I've seen are the Red Rock acl bottles from Enterprise. There's a lady in Andalusia, AL that bought out a collection with a few nice acl's from Enterprise, but I passed on them. They were the regular Red Rock bottle, not the Enterprise Beverages. Btw - you guys just missed the Boll Weevil...

Grapico

Here's some Grapico labels I found a while back.... buried. Must be 8 or so stacked. They are rough, but it's amazing they held up so good after all these years.

Houston, Miss straight side Coca-Cola

Here's one I found a couple weeks back, and it's a heart breaker. Didn't even know there was a Houston, Mississippi.

L.G. Mayo

Here's another head scratcher for me. L.G. should be for Laurens Glass works, but the Mayo? There was a Mayo drug store in the Brewton, AL area and a Lawrence Mayo that died in 1930. Maybe that's a reach, but I've searched all around for another bottle like this and have come up with nothing...

Cold Shot

Picked up 2 of these this weekend, and I've never seen one before. Says... Cold Shot, Manufactured By DR. Louis Thomas, Flomaton, ALA. It's a Root bottle with a '27 date on it. The local historical society has nothing on Dr. Thomas, so I'm going to hit the archives and see what I can come...

Graveyard Coca-Cola's

That war plaque stealing is about as low as you can get! When I first moved down here you saw quite a few CSA markers for the confederate soldiers in the older cemeteries. Most of them were pulled by the families for safe keeping, but many walked off in the middle of the night.

Graveyard Coca-Cola's

The lady I talked to remembered the bottles from when she was a kid, her grandparents are buried there, and she is close to 50. She remembers stories that the family that had these plots was very poor and could barely afford the headstones. They did what they could to decorate the graves. One...

Graveyard Coca-Cola's

They are mostly Mobile, AL, Pensacola, FL, Frisco City, AL, and Andalusia, AL. Some nice small town Florida ones too. De Funiak Springs and Trenton. It does look like some walked off through the years. No way I'm taking something off someones grave site. That's heaps bad ju-ju.

Graveyard Coca-Cola's

Found this little cemetery by word of mouth in a waaaaayyyy out of the way community in lower Alabama. Three marked adult graves, and 2 unmarked child graves completely surrounded with mostly Pat D bottles, but with some '23's, and maybe a 1915 or two mixed in. I'll keep the exact location...

BELLINGRATH COCA COLA LITTLE ROCK AR

Found a good read on the Bellingraths on the Andalusia (Alabama) star news website. Here's the link - http://www.andalusiastarnews.com/2011/02/26/coca-cola-bottling-came-here-in-%E2%80%9805/ I could copy and paste, but it's kind of long. The Bellingraths lived in the tiny town of...

Flomaton AL Pepsi

Anyone know what the scarcity of this one is? This is the first whole one I've layed my hands on. There's a chero-cola with the same script from Flomaton too. Thanks, Ian

Roy, Alabama?

Here's a 1915 Jones Mill that I have. I've found a broken Christmas bottle (perfectly split in two) that said Frisco City so the name must have changed a little before that.
