OK, here's a 'few' cases of my Mobile (Prichard and Spring Hill) bottles. I've concentrated on Mobile bottles for a long time now. Carre and Pallisers were in business from the 1850s1860s to the 1930s1940s so the styles, shapes, and colors of their bottles seem almost endless. If anyone has any Mobile bottles for sale, let me know.
Let's start with a few blobs:
The air bubble in that Clark and Wells is just killer!! Ever seen one that big??
..moving into the hutches.. then into crown tops
The second one is a Clark and Carre - only one I have like that - Carre only teamed up with Clark in 1874.
a debossed Dr Pepper..
All Mobile Cokes..
The second bottles is a Carre flavor water bottles.. the debossed Dr Pepper was a few pics up.. here's the embossed one:
The Brownie has always been one of my favs.. another Carre product:
The Ginger Ale is another Carre product.. nice heavy bottle:
First one is a Russ Beverage.. only one I've ever seen.
A nice New Yorker.. paper label reads 'Palliser Beverage Company, Mobile, AL'...
Now, the 'new' bottles.. all ACLs are marked 'Mobile'... We'll start off with a few variations of Russ - these are fairly early bottles with poor paint so when dug, the labels are almost always gone.. the Barq's and Red Rock are bottled by Russ:
Another drink bottled by Russ:
Different sized Foskos:
The Triple H is from Southern Beverages in Mobile..
The following Diet Rite and Nehi are from Royal Crown Cola in Mobile:
From Grapette Co, which was on Virginia Street:
