Boll Weevil acl

[fishnuts]

Seems to be a slow news day...[/font]

Here's some great information. I have had the Enterprise Beverages red on white acl on my want list for ever since I can remember. Whats not to like? It has pictured the statue built in tribute to the boll weevil that is in the town square/fountain?/park(I forget) of Enterprise, AL. Additionally, I think it to be a nicely executed and bright label. Previous to this month I had seen none of them. Now I have three. And purely unintentionally, miraculously, I discover they are three different.
My impressions of this bottle was that it was very small run/very small bottler/very small town kind of bottle...desireable and rare on many levels. Now...not so much. They represent at the minimum, three seperate bottle purchases of this brand spread over four years (49 - 53). They represent two 'owners', D.K. Seay twice and Red Rock B C.
Interesting to me is the question that begs? Are there any more Enterprise acls not shown below? You Southern collectors with better access...can you assist?
My interest peaked when I read an article in the Soda Net many years back and other than putting it on the wantlist...

Here's photo of the reverses.

I'll post my comments later.
I had a nicely informative post ready and this site timed me out...so poof! Gone!
I'll do it later, gotta run.

Mighty strange to pay tribute to something that has done so much damage to a cash crop.

It did to me, too.

The story, as I recall it, is that the boll weevil did wipe out their cotton crops.
But, then as a result of that they began growing peanuts...and their town was saved by the new successfully grown crop.

All I've seen are the Red Rock acl bottles from Enterprise. There's a lady in Andalusia, AL that bought out a collection with a few nice acl's from Enterprise, but I passed on them. They were the regular Red Rock bottle, not the Enterprise Beverages. Btw - you guys just missed the Boll Weevil festival on 10/22!
