I figured it out the s f stands for Saint Francis! Well at least I'm pretty sure.

I found this, it must be the image we see here. It is the Florntine coat of arms. https://www.lourdes.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/CM_CoatOfArms.jpg Not sure how that ties in with the date of 1743 on it.

Need help with value of ACL bottles I found

I kind of suspected that the paper labels went beyond 1975 just because of how many are available. It seems each plant was doing something different at the same time. So at the same time they were producing my bottle they were producing paper label bottles elsewhere. It seems there is a way to...

It is the bottles around it that are casting green light onto the Barrelhead.

This would mean that you are calling Chris possibly wrong about the 1974 bottle?I guess it is possible.

If this is the example you mentioned, this is clearly incorrect information. This bottle is a later one, not 1970.http://www.worthpoint.com...pop-bottle-full-cap-10

I second this statement! The thing that puzzles me the most is that we couldn't find a single surviving Canada Dry label at all paper or acl. They have to be out there!... Glad I could introduce an unknown bottle! I am going to try and bring it to the attention of some people that catalog...

That is what I am going with, that is where all of the evidence points to. If it were dated 1972 it would be case closed but the 1976 date indicates a very brief production because we can't find any like it. I am still wondering where all the Canada Dry paper labels are, maybe none survived...

I see, my bottles acl label is based on the Johnsonburg paper label. You can tell that the logo used in the add is taken from photo copied paper label because it says 28 fl oz at the bottom. "Where are all of the other Canada Dry label bottles?" Good question, also I have not seen a Canada Dry...

The logo on that add looks very similar to the label on my bottle!

I wonder if I contacted Canada Dry and asked them about the label if they would be interested in helping me. I have been to all of the cities you mentioned, Erie PA is the city I grew up in. I found the bottle at a garage sale in Jefferson Ohio, well within the distribution range.

I think I will hold on to it, I do not like to sell things that have an undetermined value. One of a kind things are what I collect, I have about 10 things that I refuse to sell because I know I won't get what it's worth just because there is not determined value.

Great research! If the 76 means 1976 it is indeed later than the first Barrelhead ACL bottles produced. The other thing that is different is the "return for refund" and "money back bottle" the text is yellow instead of white like on the common bottles. I can not think of an explanation of why...

The fact that the canada dry logo is in the center of the barrelhead logo in that news clipping is interesting. I do not know what to make of the 76 on the bottom of mine and 77 on the bottom of theirs.

This is the bottom of the bottle, the 76 has me thinking 1976. Some of the bottles on ebay in the description they say there is a 77 on the bottom of theirs.
