Any Big Cheif collectors?

[Humabdos]

This must really be a rare Big Chief! I don't normally collect Big Chief bottles but I thought this one was cool because of the embossing ROSEBURG DAIRY AND SODA WORKS, ROSEBURG, OREGON.
From the looks of the bidding I won't be adding this one to my collection! Anyone have a book listing on this bottle?

WoW, Thats great for an ACL. I guess the embossed version is more common than the ACL. The embossed version sell for about 30 bucks.

can someone share any info as to why this bottle is bringing so much? my price guide so several big chief acls. they don't list a value for this one but most of the others aren't in that price range either.

My guess is the embossing : ROSEBURG DAIRY AND SODA WORKS, ROSEBURG, OREGON. Also it's a small logging town. I can't think of any other oregon soda and Dairy works. Last year a 32 oz Big Chief from oregon sold for $900. This bottle still has six days left!

We have this big chief soda from Louisiana. I don't see much on it either. Kyle

Just did some checking in my bottle club news letter on the Big Chief quart, it sold for $1850.65 in 2004 by thebottlevault on E-bay. It was from Roseburg too.
Makes me want to head to Roseburg and do some 1950's dump digging!

any idea on the value of the Louisiana bottle. It says on the back property of the ouachita Coca-cola bottling co, inc. Monroe and Tallulah, La.

peltser, it appears that big chief bottlers in a few different states had the outline of their state in the background of their acl lables. i don't see yours in my book but there are 2 on ebay. they seem to in the $5 to $10 dollar range, at least so far.

John is right, Most Big cheil ACLs are in the $5 to $10 range.The ones that go big are usually western and scarce.

There are some collectors out there who only collect BIG CHIEF brand bottles. When rare versions come available they are willing to pay the big bucks to add them to there collection. I have seen this ACL version come up about 4 or 5 times. However, this one is in the best shape I have seen, and I dont' believe the others had the embossing.
