Hey guys!
I finally found the discussion about the oldest acl RC bottles and thought I'd share my Paper label RC Cola debaussed bottle I bought ages ago off of ebay for a cool $19.99.
While I honestly have reason to doubt its age as its in relatively good condition (save for a little stain on the front label), Its just too good to be true. Its spotless on the inside and the label looks like it was put on yesterday! However- based on information that I've gathered- this bottle dates from at least 1935/36 since it has no date and has a neck label which resembles a cardboard cutouts and tin signs from the same era. I have reason to believe that it might be a "salesman's sample" that never saw the light of day.
I haven't seen another bottle like it discussed around here so I wanted to know more about it... to basically make sure I'm not sitting on a fake I think is valuable. (I mean, how hard would it be to glue one of these labels to an already debaussed bottle anyway?)
Thanks!
