I am not too familiar with soda bottles of this age, beyond emptying a few, back in the day. I try and stick with the oldies. I noticed on this vintage rc a thing that looks to be a hologram or ghosted label. Can anyone tell me anything about It, or what it’s really called?

That is the remenants of a ACL (applied colored label) After the color rubbed off that is whats left

Well that’s interesting! I have not seen one like that with the paint visible. Thank you- I never thought of that option.

The Acl's in my area get destroyed for some reason. Always missing most of the color. That is definitely a ghosted label. Most Acl milk bottles around here look similar to that. This milk is supposed to be a red and white Acl. I know because I was the one that wiped it off while cleaning. Totally looks acid etched.

I know it would be pretty in red, but that’s pretty cool looking too…

Funny because they are almost invisible when wet. I did half the label. You can see the rear label now.

Cute lill milk bottle, though. Is that a half pint? Not that it’s my thing but I ended up with some milk bottles. And like every part of bottle collecting, there’s a lot more to it, than at first glance. I am finding them even harder to look up-little obscure dairies long gone. And I don’t think they have been a big deal for as long as some. (Or is that just me not noticing?) I never saw truckloads at the bottle shows anyway!

Yes, it is a half pint. So many bottlers, brewers and dairies. Mind boggling! I get a kick out of knowing. Nothing worse than a dead end.
