Shasta Beverages ACL comes to mind...one sold a couple of years back for 100 plus ....I think?....you never see them because the company was known for pushing soda in cans.

Another Canadian brand that I thought of is Whipper's.... a few on ebay at the moment. a BIN $85... a BIN $199... and one that recently sold for $72. Now the bottles depict different wrestling holds or moves, there were 8 in total. The soda was named after Whipper Billy Watson pro wrestler from Ontario if you don't know of him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whipper_Billy_Watson
Some of the bottles in the series I'm sure are very difficult to obtain and the prices would be higher.

There are about 15 Whipper's bottles listed on Worthpoint in various conditions, but for a descent one they average about $150

Here's the sample page from the ACL book, with recent values according to eBay sales in the past few years. Those without prices are either common or else I could not find a listing for it on Worthpoint. I might continue with this, but because of the large amount of time it takes I will probably only focus on what might be considered ER/Extremely Rare bottles, which will hopefully provide us with enough of them to at least assist us in watching for those so called "sleepers" Unfortunately there is not enough room on the page to show where the bottle comes from, but I will work on that in the future and see what I can do to improve it ...

If you are referring to these Shasta bottles from California, they average about $100 each ...

This is a Cobalt Blue CCS&M Hutchinson bottle from New Orleans. There was only ONE cobalt blue Hutch made in New Orleans and this is one original. This one had a small star crack on the rear shoulder and still sold for $800.00 two hours after it was dug. This is the rarest soda I know of in New Orleans.Cobat Blue CCS&M.JPG

I figured out a way to present some rare acl soda bottles that will be faster and easier for me. And because I'm still focused on bottles that members can watch for as "sleepers" I'm only posting bottles that have sold on eBay in recent years for at least $200. I'm thinking that any bottle valued at less than $200 isn't worth the trouble of reselling no matter how cheap you got it. So here goes, and please notice that the values and locations are listed in the title when you click on the image. I'll just keep posting as many of them as I can find and you can do what you want with them after that. Start your own file if you like, but I assure you the values are accurate and are recent sales within the past few years as listed on the Worthpoint website.
