i don't believe so. i think that's a common style of fanta bottle for canada. fanta is one of the brands i collect and i've seen quite a few of that style.

Here is the upside down ACL. I was told they made about a case of them at the glass factory as a joke. They were supposed to have been destroyed. But, it looks like some made it home in someones lunch box.

Wow cool, I don't see how that's even possible. I've seen that coke bottle where the entire label was white but you could still see the words coca cola and coke.

I think they just put the silk screen in upside down. The screens were a rectangle shaped and could be put in upside down.

There's currently an amber hobbleskirt from Sistersville W VA listed on eBay. Looks like another "true amber".

Now this Coke bottle listed on ebay has been nuked. Notice how the amber color has a smokey olive tint to it. I would bet the family farm (that is if my family had a farm) that this bottle has been irrateated or colored. It is not a true amber and irateated botles alot of times have a smokey look. Here's the link:

Definitely. Notice how the guy has other "smokey amber" items for sale. He's got a pretty crappy irradiating source though, that Drey jar barely looks amber to me [:D]

Another ebay irradiation clown to add to my list, I hate them enough that I have to admit it's somewhat of an obsession [:mad:]
