Cleveland ACL's

[carling]

Here's two Cleveland Double Eagle bottles, where they totally reversed the acl's. The one on the left is 1952, the right is 1949. The version on the right is the only example of this bottle I've seen, I'm hoping there is a quart and 7 ounce out there to find.

i really like this thread ...i've learned something new that i never really thought about. i thought it was just another design that the bottlers used . now , to me at least , it's another variety of the designs. thanks

Rick,
I don't recall seeing that version of the Double Eagle either. In fact, I think both of those versions must be tough to find.
You asked about the Marvel quart. It is in my collection, however, I learned to never say never as far as trading.
I have a couple of other Cleveland bottles that I know of off hand. You probably have them, but if you want me to post a picture, I will. They are the two varieties of the TNT and the Hunting Valley.
Thanks for all of the nice comments. I love talking bottles, and this forum has a wealth of people that are knowledgeable and willing to share. I appreciate the opportunity to be a small part of a large community of bottle enthusiasts. bottlingco

bottlingco,

Please do post a photo of the TNT's and Hunting Valley. I believe I have the TNT's if they are the brown glass and green glass, and I think they're 7 ouncers. I'm at work right now so I can't check mine. I do collect any minor variations. And I have three versions of the Hunting Valley and I know of at least two more out there still to find. One of my three badly needs upgraded, too. I can email you some photos of what I have for possible trading, too.

Thanks!
Rick

Here they are, and a couple of others while I had the camera out. bottlingco

The TNT's.

One of many varieties of the Cotton Club. I like this one the best, so it is the only one I kept. It is a 1939.

Finally, the next two pictures. There are several versions of both. I kept these 2. bottlingco
