Barn Finds and last weekends buys

[tsalz14]

Just thought you guys would like to see this. Yesterday, I met with a guy who had a barn that was once filled completely with sodas. He let me look around, and I wasn't disappointed at what I found. Plus all of it totaled to around $50. Not too shabby! Some bottles included also came from a flea market. All but one are acls.

That crate is awesome! That is a very good find in my opinion

I love that crate also. That makes the deal. The foil label Hires is cool. I think the Mason's and the Canada Dry's are common, but a great deal for what you paid. Nice score!!

Thanks guys. My favorite is certainly the crate. The varnish is very nice for its age (1941)

Those are nice! I really like that Riverside bottle. Is it a quart size?

ACL Bottles-
It sure is!

This is a bit off topic, but today I visited the National Bottle Museum in Ballston Spa, NY. What a place! The sheer size of the place was crazy, and it had a bit of everything. I also was lucky enough to look through Rick Sweeneys ACL book (I thought that day would never come!) there. If only I could get my own copy.. I got what I think is his address, and I'm going to try writing him. Worth a shot!

Nice picks there!....Is the 7oz Clear Canada Dry not a tough bottle?...In Canada they sure are!

 

[tsalz14]

Thanks! This was the first time I saw one of that size.. It seems like normally they would be in that bigger version. I like the way this one looks better for some reason haha.

Wow!.. What a great haul... Bet you were in Bottle Heaven digging around in that barn.. Crate is my favorite of your find.. What do the bottle look like? Never seen that brand before... I've only seen the cardboard carriers of today in that brand in image on the web...Never seen it here in Missouri... Is the crate dated?
