Hey everybody!
A few of the latest dump finds I thought I would share. I was also hoping you guys might have some advice on cleaning these bottles too because I'm really new to ACL bottles and I don't want to destroy them. I've heard early ACL bottles up in to the 60's aren't done very well and so extra caution needs to be had. Do you think these would hold up to a soaking in soap and bar keeper's friend or would it take the paint off?
Pictures below!
7up and Juicy Fruit, both Knoxville
RC Cola Trademark Nehi, also Knoxville
*sigh* the hardest part was waiting these guys said they would be done at 6:00 and they worked until 8:00 in the evening...See the big piles of dirt? yep..that's where all the bottles are. On the far side of the trucks a 20 foot deep hole with shelves right into the dump layers. May or may not have been in there to poke around. [
