Chief Muskogee Oklahoma Indian ACL
jay, average tho nice Muskogees seem to reside in the $80 - $100 range. A 7 or 8-ish acl will dip the retail down into the $40 -$50...if even.Although a spectacular one will be higher (A c-note+) at Tulsa, which is less than an hour from Muskogee.imho: One of the Three Great Chiefs...acls, not...- fishnuts

Rare Kist Kola variation?
acls...think what you're saying here. One KK bottle appears to be from 1939 and yours, you say might be 1949.that is a 'short time' of eleven years. Eleven years is no short time. imho, not for a product life.Perhaps, what you meant to imply is that they weren't used very often. During that...- fishnuts

ACL Steamboat Bottle Cleaned + history
I just checked mine...1938 O/I...no city. I have it in the Arkansas display, natch.For what it's worth I have never heard of them coming from Memphis, just Clarksdalse, MS and Forrest City, AR, but Memphis sure seems logical and makes me wonder if the owners of either Union/Liberty also had...- fishnuts

GREEN ~ STRAIGHT-SIDED ~ ACL COCA COLA BOTTLE
Finally, my .02 worth and imho, the bottle is a fake.Possibly, probably made by the same (con)artist that made all the red screen printed dozens/hundreds of WWII milk bottles, which one can still find in antique malls. Each one of those that I have hand examined showed this old screen printer...- fishnuts

2013 retrospective: Slow year, I blame my teeth... But How Did You Do?
...and the dentist who after a thorough cleaning, examination, six fillings, two extractions and a crown or two, charged me so much money that I was forced to grow the collection slowly. And keep him fed and clothed.So...what were YOU able to afford this year to knock socks off?Three colas of...- fishnuts

Mountain Valley Mineral Water
You should be able to find this common bottle all over the country. Sometimes with local bottlers addedto the Mt. Valley Water name. There are many variants in several sizes, all greens.... never seen any but their beverage line (the one with the Arkansas state outline on it) in crystal. Maybe...- fishnuts

Don't Laugh . . . I'm looking for some ACL bottles.
Those designs do not look like silk screen images to me, but rather label or printed advertising art. The Red Seal would translate exactly onto a screen for printing. Even with what I see that appears to be a drop-shadow effect in a grey tone. The three others simply would not have been...- fishnuts

Batesville, Ar bottle
Although Lik Me is a rather common deco shaped soda worth $5 to $10, normally. Yours from Batesville, AR is very hard to find...harder than common, much harder. In top grades is should sell for a twenty, easily, to an Arkansas state collector, maybe a bit more. I'm about an hour, and a bit...- fishnuts

My .02. I've not seen national brands priced that high. I'd think it would be a l-o-n-g time getting there ($$$-wise) considering the quantities the nationals produced. Keep hearing about values of diet & sugar-free and their potential for growth...I've been picking 1 or 2 up each show...- fishnuts
