Indian Club soda

[Toxic_Waste]

My sister gave me a couple of old soda bottles that were discovered in a basement. One says "Cola Root Beer" and has what looks like a woman's profile with an Indian chief's headdress, the words "Indian Club Cola Root Beer" and the soda had been bottled by the Cola Root Beer Bottling Co. in my home town, Gilroy, California. The colors are red, blue and white.

The other bottle is embossed, no color. Palm brand is embossed near the neck. Then it says Pioneer Soda Works, Gilroy, Cal and a bunch of other stuff about imitation artificial color and flavor added, fruit acid added and net contents info.

If anybody is interested I can take a pic or two, but right now I am sick and lazy so just decided to start out with a written description. I didn't find much info on these.

TW,
If your Cola Root Beer is in nice shape then you have a semi-valuable ACL. There are people who collect California ACLs, and people who collect all things Root Beer. These can fetch between $50-$100 on a good day.

Sorry this took so long and that it is sorta out of focus, but I have had the flu really bad. So much for getting flu shots!
