These come up every now and then -- Bakersfield, Visalia, Watsonville and some other California cities all can claim to have these emerald green examples and nearly always CLG Co embossed on the base. Muegge the druggist from Oregon also comes in green.

Don't leave out the very late, but still mold blown, emerald green A. J. Affleck bottles from Sacramento. He didn't open for business until 1923, yet no ABMs.

PCGW switched over to automated glass machines in 1924 if I recall correctly, so that's very interesting to read.
Nearly all the green Cali druggists are noted as "1" or "2" rating them as fairly common in Miller's book, yet the green always brings out the "green".[8D]

Most of the CLG greens that I have dug in the midwest date to the teens,twenties and possibly as late as 1930. They are all BIM.
