Here are some of my personal collection rarest ACL's. All are local TN-MS except the Birdie. I have got these over the last 30 years some I have never seen another like but I haven't seen them all I am sure. Here's some I can get my hands on close by
1ST The BIRDIE, 2nd is a Dyersburg Tn King Cotton and last of all is the famous Jackson Tn Kick with the Hillbilly being kicked into space by the mule.

So Jackson is where that one it from. I'll have to keep my eye out.

Here's four tough ones to get 1st is a rare Jackson Tn Hub City with wheel on front . They were in business around 1 year in 1942. 2ND is a Killer one that I have only seen one more of it's a Dyersburg Tn Aqua Chase next up is a rare 7 up green Botl-O from Iuka MS and last of all is a really hard one to get in nice condition the Jackson's (Jackson Tennessee) King Cotton with ACL and raised cotton boles.

Now that's an interesting Botl-o.

I think Jackson is the only city that had that Kick I have never seen but a handful and they were Jackson. The Botl-O is one I have never seen another of. I see Botl-O all the time but they are all the standard clear.

I love them old acls. I've never heard of the "Routt" ones; which are an obvious play on the word "Route." Gotta get me a couple of those!

The green "BOTL-O" is interesting too. I have the clear one shown below, and suspect it may be fairly common ... although I'm not certain. It's dated 1949, and from Camden, Arkansas. The maker's mark is a "B" in a circle for Brockway - Crenshaw, PA. Would you consider mine common or rare? Plus, I'm curious about the graphics on your green example; are those ocean waves, or what?

Thanks,

SPB

Yes your's is the more common Botl-o.

This one is pretty neat. I picked it up off of ebay a little while back. I got it off of you if I'm not mistaken Digger. I love this bottle it's so unusual.

Botl-o in green is common the big one I think you did get from me. I have 3 cases I need to start loading on ebay. I bought a old collection and there was 4 cases of the big ones in it. I am going to put some more on soon. There were nearly all mint. dm

Nice collection, Digger! I have another variation of the Routt soda somewhere, maybe with Dyersburg and Jackson? Great group.
