Wolfboy you can post acl bottles here from now till hell freezes over and no one will even talk to ya.......this section is for real bottle collectors, one of which I'm not.

...........but I'll tell ya. There's about a dozen or so variations of OC like this, all slightly different. Only difference is the lable.

what is a real bottle collector ?

 

[surfaceone]

Or better yet, what do a "real bottle collector" collect?

My baby daughter, by no means a bottle collector, likes hers with original contents:

I "collected" this one from her, before she could ad the contents to her "collection." From the swingin sixties:

Dusty as could be, original seal, contents evaporated about an eighth in volume.

A "real bottle collecter" is one who loves bottles of the 1800's preferably, often to the point where they become a candidate for one of those hoarding shows on Discovery where you might want to step back quickly if you open the front door. Some collecters only aquire high end bottles. Those guys - they are just a real pain in the ass, getting on here with their pictures and showing off to those of us who have families to support and cannot indulge ourselves. Some collecters are simply fascinated by the quaintness of labeled pop bottles.

to each their own i guess. i find those bottles from the 1800's dull and boring. im quite happy with a 5 dollar soda bottle or a local hutch bottle.

Real bottle collectors? Hmmm I collect vessels which are commonly known as bottles, doesn't that make me a real bottle collector? Does it really matter if you happen to collect acls as opposed to two hundred year old historical flasks? They are all bottles last time I looked. That's like saying job blow and his wheat penny collection is any less a real collector than the joker who's forking over thousands for a colonial dollar collection. The idea that there is some kind of class system when it comes to collecting what you enjoy it just illogical and borderline stupid. Historic flasks usually held whiskey, aside from drinking it I have no interest in whiskey (actually I prefer vodka) so collecting those just don't resonate with me. I do; however, have a deep seated love for soda, thus it's what I collect. Some of these acls are starting to hit historical flask prices so if how much you have to spend makes you a "real collector" then we are on our way. LOL!

As for the question which started this thread. I would have to say that Company bottles were more of a generic bottle as many of the ones I have come across usually don't have town names on them.
