It seems like flea bay is filled with speculators and not bottle sellers. Common bottles are listed for ten times their possible value because of one similar rarity listed. Shipping is off the charts too. Kind of takes the fun out of browsing.
I saw this offered the other day. I was going to bid, but not because it is a 1934 ACL. It isn't, IMO. I don't think they had two color technology down just then. I think it's a 1941, with a mottled/damaged 1 after the 4 on the base, or 40 something. I can't believe what it went for. $332!! I...
I’m looking for an embossed Detroit Bottling Works with 757 Hendrie address on front with the name. An address change in the city in the 1920s made it 2685 Hendrie. I posted in Wanted to Buy too, but I know there are a lot of Michiganders and Canadians in this forum.
Detroit Bottling Works with 757 Hendrie address on front shield with the name. 7 oz preferred. An address change in the city in 1920s became 2685 Hendrie. PM me with info
I have a few older ACL Yoo Hoo bottles and I'd like to have a carrier for them. The only one I've ever seen is a newer style, and it's one with miniature bottles. Anyone seen one?
I recently came across a bottle carrier with a modern logo, the red diamond shape with the RC crown that has three diamonds across the top. I tried to pin down when this logo was used and there isn't a lot of info on it out there. I did find a picture of a "First Run" bottle dated 1960.

Faygo has been a staple of the Detroit pop market for over a hundred years. You may recall, about 2012, a building burned and was knocked down revealing a 1940's sign painted on the building next door. It caused a bit of a stir in nostalgic circles, and it was featured on the cover of Soda...
I spotted this one and bought it because it had a prioff top. It’s 4 1/2 or 5oz, machine made. I think it had a paper label. But what was in it? The only mark is a tall, narrow diamond with a dot in it, and a 4 beneath. Help!

I entertained the idea that I might be a player on this one, but not for this kind of bread. It's in really nice shape too. 1957
I just picked up this 24oz. Feigenson Brothers bottle. That was the name of Faygo in Detroit before they changed in 1920 or so. I haven't seen a lot of these big slug plate bottles, let alone a local gem like this.
Leon, have you seen many of these big boys? I think you had a Hutchinson...
I ran across this 7oz embossed Nez bottle from Saginaw, MI and couldn't pass it up. 1941 with an N in a square manufacturer mark. It's in great shape and I can't say I've seen one before.
Does anyone know anything on the N in a square mark?
I came across this nice 6oz. Pepsol bottle today and bought it. I thought it was a company Pepsi may have sued out of existence, but doing some research, it looks like it is/was a Pepsico company.Other threads in the forum all show ACL bottles from Nashville, but this one is a "pinch" style...
I'm curious if any of you boys have ever started a dig, and come to realize that your in a grave instead of a privy. And if you'd even want to mention it if you did.
Rolled the dice on a Dr Nut bottle. It looked like it had been buried in a creek for a while. It even had some caked dirt that felt hard as cement, but I was able to remove it scraping with my thumbnail. Used Barkeepers on the label with my thumb too. The glass has bunch of flea-bites but I'm...
I ran across this article and was surprised by some I hadn't heard of.They got my state right, but the rest of you are on your own -Iconic soft drinks of every state
Recently I caught a glimpse of a "Painter" 1894 opener on Ebay in a group of openers that the price had been reduced. I pounced. I'd wanted one for a long time but the only other one I've ever seen belongs to SODAPOPBOB.
Bob discussed his opener in the "First crown top bottle" thread and said...
Spotted this one at an antique mall down on a bottom shelf. I don't usually go for quart size, but this one is so clean, and the date is 1939. I do go for the older ACLs. The heel is embossed with General Beverage Co. and Detroit, Mich on the other side.I haven't been able to find anything about...
