Hey Jake! From what I can gather, the Marvel's Old Fashioned Root Beer is from Ridgely, Maryland. I know a guy who lives in Ridgely, I can see if he knows anything about Marvel's. I found a slightly different Marvel's Root Beer on eBay that sold for $1, but it's label had faded.

Chris, I know pretty much about all the bottles because they are researchable, however the Mickey is the only bottle that I personally have found no information on.
Is it a one-of-a-kind?

If not has anyone seen one sell?

What is the history of the bottle and how come there are no other examples?

Maybe a proto-type? Hard to say.

I have not found any info on the Uncle Ben's, but that is staying in my collection, So it doesn't matter to me what its worth. Most of the time the amber ones are the ones you find.

Chris get ready to do some digging this year, see ya...

Here is the reverse of all the bottles, they are all in excellant shape. It is my understanding that they were found in the basement of an old general store that had been closed for many years. There were more bottles but these were the only ones I purchased because I thought he wanted to much for everything. Wow, How little I know about ACL's.

Looks like the bottom reads 10 Fl. Oz.

I know its unrelated but the Uncle bens label is interestingly very similar to the tru root rootbeer label. Maybe made by the same artist. Just an observation.
