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!
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.
