Best bottle 2009: Post your entries here

[digdug]

Here is my best 2009 find for the ACL Category: A set of 1965 Prototype 2 Color ACL Coca-Cola bottles. Coke ended up not using the 2 color ACL until 1972 on the 16 ounce bottle and larger. I have never seen them before.

Wow! These Coke prototypes are awesome! I too collect ACL's and these would be keepers!

My main interests are early soda bottles & ginger beers but my best find of 2009 is without a doubt this sealed "whiskey" bottle from Montreal, it is apparently the only one known and it's in perfect condition, dark dark olive color, almost black!

I acquired two of my best bottles this year, one dug and one bought. Here is my best dug bottle for 2009, a rare pontiled cone ink in emerald green.

The best bottle I bought this year is this local iron pontil soda, which is one of only about seven that are known to exist.

My personal best find this year was a Cummings & McKinney Hutchinson bottle from the small coal mining town of Pocahontas, VA. The glass company that made the bottle was only in operation from 1892-93. Aside from a few small chips its in awesome condition.

Trog, the embossing on that bottle is just incredible. Would never have guessed by looking at it that it was a Whiskey. Lovely.

Gunth, I have faith in you. You will get your skull one day...
