Moxie Mystery ACL Bottle

Hi Soda Bob - Always love reading your research. I have to agree with @FreeBirdTim about the “why?” Not to mention forgers usually miss some details and your bottle keeps passing your tests. I like your “re-using” theory. I find the same thing with Vernor’s bottles and it’s very frustrating...

Vernor’s Extract Paper Label Bottle

Wow! 2024 is off to a great start! I just picked up the Vernor’s Extract bottle in the middle. In 45 years of collecting, these are the only three extract bottles I’ve found with a paper label still intact. I bought it from a guy who has had it since he was in high school. He found it exploring...

Bottle Opener Question

I have an early Vernor’s bottle opener with a point on one end. The era of the opener is 1920s. Would the point be for removing corks? What’s the purpose of that end? Thanks for your assistance.

Cardboard Litho Vernor’s Bottle

I collect anything Vernor’s, not just Vernor’s bottles. I started my collection about 45 years ago. So, it’s always exciting to find something I don’t have. This is one of those fabulous finds. It measures about 11” high by 20” wide. I love that it also has an ACL bottle pictured on it. 1948.

Stroh beer bottle Detroit, Calling Leon!

I have one Stroh’s pop bottle. It does not have any Stroh’s embossing at all. It just has a date code on the bottom. I’m not as well-versed in decoding those as most folks on this site. (I had trouble figuring out which way the mark was facing!) Makes sense it would be 1930. But, all those...

New site on 1873 map but found 1900-1930 bottles

Hello scubabottler! I can only speak from my experience with Vernor’s Ginger Ale. It’s the oldest continuously produced soda pop bottler in the US. Started in 1866. From 1866-1896 you could only buy it at a soda fountain. No bottles. In 1896 the first bottles were siphons. Starting about 1904...

Several bottles from our recently closed store (former restaurant) in Northern Ontario

Always like finding out about new bottling cities for Vernor’s. But already have Escanaba on the Michigan list.

Pfeiffer Beer Blotter Age Question

I’m hoping the bottles pictured on this Pfeiffer blotter will help identify the age. They started brewing in 1892. I know it was still C. Pfeiffer in the 1910s. I was hoping to narrow down the date. There’s no date on the blotter. Thanks for any help you can offer.
