An Orange Crush Bottle of A Different Shape

[RNorwood]

I found this Spiral Orange Crush bottle a few months back. I have been collecting and studying Orange Crush bottles for several years now, and I have never seen this variety of Orange Crush bottles before. I am guessing it is one of the later bottle designs, probably Regional, from the 1970s. ALC is similar to that shown on the Canadian bottle Fig 18, page 90 of Michael Rosman's book "Krinkly to Mae West."

I am wondering if anyone else has come across a bottle like this one.

I haven't seen one like that before. Neat find.

i believe that's an 80's bottle

It's very possible, Dad. I just find it strange that after viewing thousands of images on the Internet and speaking directly with Michael Rosman, I can find no other example of this bottle.

i have a diet crush bottle in the same style. besides the word diet the only other difference in the number on the bottom is 15 instead of 12.
i kinda remember this style of bottle from my teens.

Thanks for your reply, so does your bottle have the spiral shape as well as the same ACL?

 

[bubbas dad]

yes. it's the same bottle just with the word diet added.

That's a weird one, I don't remember ever seeing one of those before either. I did manage to find another example online, but it didn't have any information with it:

I was also wondering if there was any chance it could be from another country, maybe British? I couldn't find any matching examples though. I did come across another interesting bottle though: an applied lip Orange Crush! It makes sense that such a thing would exist, but I've definitely never seen one before. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/26563526...+x5dxTatEnfPYWDtrdqmSz9QuU|tkp:Bk9SR7rh5OjNYw

OK, thank you. So far you are the first collector I have found who has seen this bottle style. At this point I am thinking this may be a rare bottle for Orange Crush collectors.

Wow, I find the applied lip more interesting than the spiral bottle design. It's too bad the seller will not ship to North America.
