Every bottle has a story

[attachment=IMG_5531_opt.jpg] This is the best photo I could take of the bottom. Looking at this I now think it is a 5 so you could be right. Any input I have would just be a guess.

Yes, possibly. It looks exactly like the example you have in post #13 which you show 5 in red under the number/letter in question. It looks more like an S to me because it appears to be just curves with no right angles, but you could be right that it is a stylized 5, which would make my bottle...

If you are right then my bottle would be from 1951.

Yes, SodaPopBob, it is a Glass Containers Corporation mark. If you look at the first reply to this post by Carling you will see he includes a link to an ebay listing for a different "a kick" bottle. In the photos of that listing there is one showing the bottom of that bottle and it shows an S...

The bottom of the bottle shows an S, then an angular G with and C intertwined (G over the C), then a 1.Further down are four numbers 5044, then below that a single 1. I was guessing that it was a mid forties bottle but it certainly could be from the 1950's.

Thanks for everyone's replies and especially to SodaPopBob for your info. I get a kick (pun intended) out of the fact that the company president was able to use the football theme to give the soda a sporting image while at the same time kind of naming the brand after himself.

[attachment=IMG_5524_opt.jpg] I picked up this beautiful ACL bottle for my collection the other day. The name on the soda is "A Kick". It is in such excellent condition that to look at it you can hardly believe it is over 70 years old. On the reverse it indicates it was produced by Everett...

Royal Flush ACL

Thanks for the info MCglass. My best guess on the dating of my bottle is 1944. I tried to photograph the bottom but it is hard to get a clear shot. As far as date marks, on the left is 20 for the bottling plant, then the Owens-Illinios mark, the right of that is clearly a 4 followed by a blob...

Royal Flush ACL

I saw in a previous post a mention of a Royal Flush ACl. I bought recently one and was trying to find out a bit about it. Researching on the net I can find a number of mentions and images but all the images I see have the label in red and white. My bottle is white printing only. It is a seven...
