green kist 1pt 12oz bottle

[bubbas dad]

picked up this bottle recently and really hope someone can shed some light on it for me. it the first green acl kist i've come accross with the cross hatch style lable. the base has the old style owens illinois makers mark but dated 1963 which in it's self is puzzling since the mark wasn't suppose to be used after 1958. it's from kiel, wisconsin, every other green kist acl i've seen have been from the northeast. i would like to know how common this style is and what other sizes of this bottle are out there.

Hi John. I am an avid acl collector and have never seen a green Kist bottle that has the cross hatch style either. It is definitely an uncommon variety, and very nice lloking too.

You may remember the amber Kist that I posted a year or so ago. The bottle mold seems to be identical.

thanks acls. i think it's a great bottle. i hope someone can tell if there are other sizes out there. i still drool over the amber one you shared, but i guess thats a wish that will remain unanswered.

I think its a great bottle too John. You gotta love those quarts!

That amber one was from Wisconsin too. The seller wanted $80 for it three or four years ago at the Knoxville bottle show. I am not sure if it sold or not.

Hi John. I thought I would post this link in case you hadn't seen it already. It is the Canadian Kist Ginger Ale. It's a great looking bottle with grren glass and a green/white ACL.
