    Bottle Cap Catcher Needed

    At the risk of sounding mean, doesnt that look like a tin can cut about 3/4 of the way around, the lid bent up and a hole drilled for hanging? Call it a poor man's cap catcher. LOL!

    "THIRSTY? - JUST WHISTLE!"

    Shouldn't Whistle be a SODA, not an imitation orange juice-like drink? Terry

    "THIRSTY? - JUST WHISTLE!"

    Nice looking! I'd like to do that with a bunch of my Coke bottles. My problem is finding caps of the right vintage at a decent price. Everyone thinks Coke is GOLD! I think full bottles would look sharp in a carton display. I really like that those Whistles are shorties! Terry

    Painting embossed lettering?

    What's the general opinion on this? I have a few straight sides that are cloudy enough to need the embossment painted. I resisted because of altering the bottle. One is special because it is a ss Coke from my hometown. If you paint, what color do you use? I know I could use any color. I suppose...

    The next Schmidt auction is...

    I'm hearing that March 22, 2013 will be the LAST auction to the bare walls. This came via the sister publication to Soda Spectrum. Sorry I don't know the name, Cola Conquest maybe? I didn't go to last weeks auction but I thought the stuff at the back room store was rather pricey. 2 display...

    cleaning the crud

    Wow! Everyone has an opinion and a method. I like the plastic brush. Don't know if it is easier than shaking a granular/water solution. Which takes more effort? LOL. And no one has mentioned where to get either bottle brushes OR the plastic brush. Hope to find out soon!! Terry

    cleaning the crud

    So risking that this will get moved or make someone mad for posting to the wrong forum... Is there an easy way to get the dried crud off the inside of ACLs? I mostly mean the bottom inside. Do I need to invest in specialized brushes? Or what kind of brush do I need from the hardware store? I...

    I'd like to find a cardboard carton for the double line sodas.

    Oh, now THAT's a beautiful picture! Never seen the shielded ones.

    Double Line

    Yup. Maybe Double Cola's flavor line?

    Double Line

    Anyone heard of this company? I think the bottle I saw said Seminole Flavor (?) Co. and listed a Georgia address. I didn't buy the bottle, that is why I am being so vague. It has a diamond shaped logo. For some reason I automatically think Double Cola when I saw it. Ever see any cartons or other...

    First Nu Grape Bottle

    What's the story on the Nu Icy? I've seen it before and always thought it to be a Nu Grape product but, what did the Nu Icy bottle hold? Different flavors?

    Petretti's Price Guides

    Has anyone heard of an updated edition of either Petretti's Soda Pop guide (last pub. 2003) or his Coca-Cola guide (2008). He used to put out the Coke one every 2 years. It has been 4 years now and it has been 11 years for the Soda Pop guide. I supposed he has been busy. I know he got canned...

    Cool Nehi carton

    I love cartons. Especially with the bottles. I only wish I had room to display more. I would think that this would be an inexpensive "go with" to collect.
