Was listening to the news here in Ohio this evening and they said that eight million homes were out of electric over fifteen or seventeen states . Two hundred Duke trucks from here in Ohio are heading out to different areas of the country to try and help get those people hooked back up . I heard the death toll and seen the damage in different parts of the country . It can't help but break one's heart to know what those folks are going through . My prayers goes out to all of them .

You trickster! Shame on you. (Lol)

I caught it but didn't question it ... especially considering there are so many "Club" related sodas from Providence. I just figured Club-Club was one of them.

I found two different Brownies in a basement in Barrington, RI yesterday. I'll email you when I get home and get a closer look at them. David Curenton

There are a bunch of Bottler's Bureau books on ebay that forum member CeleryCola posted the link for. He's bidding on a bunch, and plans to share them with those interested. They should show when Brownie Club first began in RI (and perhaps shed some light on Glee Club!)

its not a 1934 Brownie but this is a snow moon from fall river with the 4 moon label and a 4 on the bottom. according to go no it could be a 1934 or is it just a typo or mistake by gono
2 SNOW MOON 44 C 1934 MA Clear 12 Yellow/Black "DELCO"-Four Small Moon Face

I always thought it was a 1944 because it seems to have a dot near the 4 however it may be further away and higher then normal for the . code

It's too bad the Dot vs No-Dot Owens-Illinois bottles aren't cut-and-dried one way or another without controversy, but I suppose we'll just have to accept that for the time being. Aside from that I'm inclined to think your Snow Moon acl is in fact a 1934, especially when you take into account that most (but not all) post 1940 Owens-Illinois bottles had Duraglas embossed on the base along with the stippling bumps, neither of which does your Snow Moon have. I vote 1934, but then again, I might be throwing stones in a glass house. If we can determine the in-operation dates for Delco Beverages it might help. I took a quick look around but haven't found much yet except that every date so far for Snow Moon (other than on gono.com) list it as 1940s/50s+

Speaking of gono.com, go back to where you found the 1934 date for the Snow Moon and look just above it at the "Snappy" listing. It's indicating an acl for 1930, which surely is a typo, or is it?

Thanks for sharing.
