YOU'RE INVITED ...
No doubt by now many of you have already seen Dragon0421's thread regarding his/her? recent finds, one of which is the "Big Cola" that (according to TJSJHART) - (whose knowledge I highly respect) was produced in 1937. And likely you have also seen my so called list regarding ACL bottles made between 1935 and 1939. And although it wouldn't surprise me that this subject has already have been discussed here on A-B.Net numerous times in the past, thus far in my search I have been unable to find such a thread. So I would like to invite anyone who has an ACL made "during" or "before" 1935, to post a photo of it here and to tell us something about it. I expect the total number of bottles from this time period to be few, thus making this a short, but hopefully interesting thread. The reason I selected 1935 as the starting date, is because 1935 is the earliest date referred to in my trusty "Collecting Applied Color Label Soda Bottles" book, (Third Edition). Most of us have seen references to the ACL process beginning as early as 1932/33?, but I for one have never seen one that old, and have to wonder if they even exist.
So here's your chance to share photos of your early-early ACLs with the rest of the world. Providing, of course, they are available for viewing. And it's not neccessary to show a photo of the actual date itself, (unless you prefer to), as we will take you word for it that it is from the date you indicate.
I personally have no photo to share here, as my earliest bottle is from 1941, which doesn't qualify.
Thanks a bunch,
