Buffalo Rock Lime Rickey

[bloodj2]

Hi Everyone!

Managed to get out on my lunch break to the dump down the street and saw where a construction crew extended their giant hole to put in more piping. Anyway, found my first ACL
in decent shape. It's Buffalo Rock, Birmingham Alabama "Lime Rickey" bottled by Orange Crush of Knoxville Tenn. It has a few chips off the crown, but the paint is in really good shape!

I don't know Buffalo Rock's very well, but I don't recall ever seeing a Lime Rickey one before. Of course I have seen a lot of the Ginger Ales. Do you ever come across those up your way madman?

...nor the green glass embossed bottle

Interesting. I've never seen one of those before.

Thanks guys!

I've searched the Internet and can't find but one reference to this bottle. A similar one with less paint but a perfect crown sold on ebay in December for $65. Guess it's a pretty rare bottle!

I have seen many green Buffalo Rock Lime Rickey bottles from Birmingham with a smooth surface rather than stippled.

yes theres a lime ricky from knoxville as shown, have not dug any, but my buddy don has one, as far as the green and clear embossed bottles yes ive dug those in a early 40s context not knowing if the paint was gone or if they were paper label

very nice find. get some barkeepers friend and gently clean the lable. it looks like it would clean up nicely.
