CB is Clevenger Brothers. Your bottle looks like the correct form to be an eagleflag GXII-53 or 54. It's hard to tell with the pic what it is. It's blury, the bottle is dirty and I cant tell the size. To me it looked like quart but that won't fit with the numbers. I need to see it cleaned up some.
Even Clevenger is (especially if early) worth some (20-50+ depending), but I'd like to see it cleaned up. The other side is a must also.
Try posting it separate under real or fake.

Well, I adjusted the pic and the lip doesn't look quite like an original but I still can't be sure. If is is a repro I'm guessing a pretty good one. Size does look closer to pint also.
Make sure you get a shot if the base too,

Ball Standard is an aqua quart jar. I think there are 2 of them, one next to a little green glass bowl, and one with a lid next to a wicker covered bottle in the pictures with a bunch of jars. Jumbo Peanut Butter is a clear jar with swirled ridges all around it and picture of an elephant on one side. The one I think is a Jumbo jar I can only see the back of in two pics, it is also close to the green bowl and right next to a Ball jar with a big crack in it and close to a clear lantern globe in the last jar picture. I'm not sure it is a Jumbo, can only see the swirled side and not the elephant.

I finally unloaded the crate and took pictures. The first 4 photos shows all of them laid out, followed by close-ups:

This took all day! I found some dad's marbles white cleaning. I think I'll clean up a few jars and put them inside and just keep for myself. I think it would be a nice keepsake to remind me of dad. I'll post pictures in a few days when I get it done.

glass man - this has been so much work and emotional duress...

cowseatmaize - Here is the green bottle all cleaned up:

Are you wanting to buy it?

coreya - Here are all the picture of the insulators:

What would be a fair price for the 8 of them?

I looked at the pics of the bottles from the trunk. There are about 20 bottles that would be in the "over $5.00 but less than $10.00" category. That is the embossed sodas and beers and the embossed Ohio drug stores.
There really should have been some better bottles in a collection that size. Does anyone else feel like I do that this collection has been picked clean either by thieves or a bottle picker years ago? They didn't even leave you a Hostetters.

i know what it's like to have to go through the things your dad left , i had to do the same thing years ago with my bros. it's not easy. I'd be interested in the acl (applied color label) soda pops that are there . if you can put them together and let me know what you want for them let me know . I'll pay postage and what ever you want for them. get back to me when you are ready. thanks TIM
