Here's my Attic finds from yesterday

[digger mcdirt]

I didn't get much bottle wise but I got a nice little ACL I have never seen before and a cool gum machine from the 50's era that still works.

Here's a close up of the bottle it's a mini pop from Sunshine Beverage Company. I have never seen it before maybe a Grapette Copy? Anyone know anything about it? bob

This was a neat find I bought 4 bags of 50 cent bubble gum balls and last night my grandkids had a great time. Everytime I looked around they had a penny and were at the gum machine. I gave the man $12 for the machine and it was well worth it just to watch the kids have fun with it. I am going to have to stock up on bubble gum balls before they all come I have 5 grandkids. bob

Hey Bob,

Is the MiniPop an American made bottle (glass manufactured in the US)?

I see them on a semi-regular basis here in Canada, the next one I'll see I will picture it and post it...

I saw minipop for sale one time and it was from Canada. They're kinda cute though.

Mini Pop was based out of Toronto Canada I think I have a Mini Pop Case of the clear bottles like that and 1 green bottle ... will see if I can find some pictures to post and if not will take some tommorow.

That was the best 2 pictures I could find on my computer will take better ones tommorow and of the green bottle if I can find it.

Thats neat it sure came a long way to end up here in Tennessee in an attic. Wonder what era is it 40's ? 50's? bob

Late 50's early 60's I think

Could not find the green one (must be in a case some were) so took some more pictures of the clear ones .. some say toronto canada right on back of bottle and others do not.
