    Help w/ Hobbleskirt ID #2

    Here's one example of a Graham No City/State bottle marked 576 EG 25 from their Evansville plant and made in 1925. Even though this is not the same bottle as the one in question, it does tell us that there are other patent 1915 Coca Cola bottles with blank bases. I'm not exaggerating when I say...

    Help w/ Hobbleskirt ID #2

    Hi, Ivy As you probably know, the 576 G20 indicates a Graham Glass Co. bottle made in 1920. I looked around and all of the examples of similar bottles I could find had the City/State embossed on the base. However, I don't know how unusual or rare it was for any Graham bottle not to have the...

    Moxie Mystery ACL Bottle

    Thanks, Michael I'm familiar with Swanky Swig ACL glasses. However, the earliest one I am aware of is from 1933. You mentioned one from December of 1932. Do you have a confirmed source for the 1932 glasses? The earliest ones had black and red stripes on them, like this one on eBay ...

    Moxie Mystery ACL Bottle

    Here's another Moxie bottle I'm researching. It might be one of the very first Moxie ACL bottles. It's a Glenshaw bottle and the 47 on the base is for 1947. I communicated with the seller and educated them about Glenshaw bottles and their ring-codes. They sent me the attached photos of the codes...

    Moxie Mystery ACL Bottle

    Thanks for clarifying that. So-called "Ghosted" ACL bottles are often hard to see. The 1942 bottle on eBay is half ghosted. Speaking of which, it's still the latest 7 Oz. "Wheat-Sheaf" ACL I'm aware of. Based on what I have seen, it's starting to look as if they transitioned to the "Moxie-guy"...

    Moxie Mystery ACL Bottle

    Thanks, Sitcoms When you said the label is long gone did you mean a paper label or ACL? There are several 7 Oz. bottles on eBay but most of them don't have labels of any type. This brings up another mystery and more questions as to why so many of the later Moxie bottles - large and small -...

    Moxie Mystery ACL Bottle

    Sold The seller accepted my offer for the 1941 Moxie ACL bottle. I do not intend to purchase this 1942 Owens Illinois Moxie ACL bottle with the funky label. However, it's currently the latest example of a 7 oz. Moxie ACL I am aware of. I will continue my search for later examples...

    P.S. I forgot to mention I offered the seller $30 for the 1941 Moxie bottle that's on eBay. I haven't heard back from them yet but will let you know when I do. Bob

    Moxie Mystery ACL Bottle

    The more I look into this the more connections I find with Moxie and Whistle Bottling in Reynoldsville. There is also a connection with Anthony Marinaro. The earliest Whistle / Moxie / Marinaro connection I have found is the 1938 article I posted earlier. Marinaro passed away in 1940 - which I...
