    Jackson Drug Co., Talladega Springs, Ala.

    As a soda bottle collector, I did not expect to be overwhelmed by medicine bottles at the Bessemer, Alababa, show or anywhere else. But these came from a long gone drug store at near-by Talladega Springs, and I kept going back again & again to buy more.

    Gay-Ola, Talladega, Ala.

    Although this bottles appears to have been irradiated, it was actually found on top of the ground near a cemetery in Lineville, Alabama. A second pic follows.

    Thanks to Tom Lines for the Bessemer show.

    Tom Lines put on another exceptional show this past weekend in Bessemer, Alabama. There was a great Coke display which featured all the known Alabama Hutch bottles, as well as numerous examples of rare small-town Cokes. A great time was had by sellers and buyers alike (me especially!). I...

    7oz chero cola bottles alabama

    Duane73 Have you ever heard of, or come across, a source for detailed information on individual bottlers? I seek info on two Alabama towns, Sylacauga & Talladega, but the resources for local research are limited. The bottles are there, but the history is sorely lacking. Thanks,

    Lime Cola, Lineville, Ala. (need info)

    That's a good question, SPBOB. I hope to be able to answer it soon.

    Thank you very much for the input. The ACL bottle was described to me specifically as a "25th Anniversary" version. Twenty-five years after the 1914 bottle in your pic would have the anniversary bottle, if it even existed, coming out in time for the '39 Worlds Fair. Just a thought...

    Lime Cola, Lineville, Ala. (need info)

    In my search for Lineville, Alabama, bottles I heard of one I was unfaniliar with. The only description I have is that it was an ACL, and somewhere on this Lime Cola bottle were the words "25th Anniversary" and "Lineville, Ala.". I have no doubt that other cities had this anniversary...

    Searching for bottles: LINEVILLE, ALA.

    Like many small towns in the early 1900s, Lineville, Alabama, had a variety of soda bottlers, and, as usual, these bottles are now difficult to find. I am searching for anything related to bottling during that period in Lineville, especially the bottles, both ACL & embossed. Some of the...

    Blocton and West Blocton bottles

    I dug a crown top circle slug plate similar to one of yours earlier this week. I believe it to be one of the more common West Bloctons, the simple block lettering 'STANDARD BOTTLING WORKS'. It differed from yours only in that it did not have 'REGISTERED 7OZ' (and it has a Big scratch on it...

    Just thought I would sneak these in at this point.

    milk, pharmacy, soda bottle locals for me

    I have a friend who is trying to sell some embossed Tenn. milks. If you're interested I'll contact him & get you a list (he has quite a few ). Jody Lee, Sylacauga, Ala.
