A banner day here at the Hall house, Herr Klaus came early. Odd Canada Dry-8oz dd Pepsi from Winston-Salem N.C. and I got this Billy Boy from Matt [acls] a N.C. bottle also.
A refrence book. A 24 tag w/ original paint that some moron put poly. over. SEP w/ Rockwell cover "Rosie the Riveter". Lastly tag light for 37 Olds.. Been hunting for this w/ no luck for 20 yr. then two come up on the bay in a ten min. peroid. All in one day.
Nice additions Pat. I really like the pics you and others post of the painted label pops. The more I see them the more I like them! Good luck collecting! Paul []
I am interested to know more about the Sodalicious Book. I had actually ordered the book from the author in 1995. I received it (a notebook) with only a few inserts on a few bottles. Once you got the book he would tell you you needed to subscribe (pay a certain amount per year) and get additions to the book as he found different bottles, etc. That ticked me off that he didn't tell you up front. Well-I subscribed anyway..... and now in 2007 I am still waiting for inserts. Never received the first one. I wrote to him...I don't know how many times. Never heard a word. It was a rip off as far as I was concerned. So-I was wondering what is in your book. I thought it might be the few I have in mine and that is it. I wonder how much $$ David Meinz made off that deal!?!??!!?
The Painted Soda Bottle Collectors Association (PSBCA) has a GREAT book on ACL soda bottles. It has some history and a lot of photos! http://psbca.thesodafizz.com/ . It should show how to order the book. I know they are working on a new book, but who knows how long it will be before it comes out.
I don't know what ever became of David Meinz. I did some searches today on the internet and found a David Meinz, that is a public speaker on health issues. I don't think it is the same one though. The book was around $30 or so way back then. I am not sure if I even have my copy anymore. It was one of those things that the more I looked at it the more I got mad. (And I am an easy going person). So I ended up packing it away in a box about 8 years ago and hadn't seen it since.
