There is an Oliver's Pontiac, Michigan "Deco-style" bottle on Worthpoint that sold for $195 but I can't find any info about the ACL version.

Here is the picture of the "Sun Maid" from Sweeney's ACL book. It says Premium Beverages / California Sunshine and depicts the image of a sitting bathing beauty. Its a 10 Ounce and listed as ER/Extremely Rare. My scanner works great, but the picture in the book is not very good.

Bob, the new site allows you to attach more than just three per post, which I like a lot better! I think the most I've ever done in a single post is probably about six or seven.

Gracias' - That's good to know. I just figured it was the same as before!

Bob, I'm very familiar with the Oliver's Deco bottle that sold for $195.00. That was my bottle I sold to the Sheikh. It's really only a $10-$20 bottle in my opinion. I've seen a few of those around. Don't see the Oliver ACLs much though. Or the Olivers Hutches, which are rare. Thanks for Sun Maid pic, never seen that one before but will be looking for it. THANKS, LEON.

Thanks for the update on the Country Music bottle. By the way, this is a great thread.

About 15 years ago I was looking for Beer can dumps down in Alabama while visiting my Mom. Behind one old abandoned house I found a big dump, looked like mostly 1940 & 50's household garbage & after a little poking around I left because no beer cans. BUT, I do remember it having hundreds of old ACL Soda pop bottles. I didn't collect them at the time so left them. Now I'm wondering what I might of left behind? Maybe a pile of Country Music ACL's? LEON.

However, the ones to look for are like the one pictured here with an Indian scene on the label of a deco-style bottle. There are at least eight different scenes and of those shown on Worthpoint, the lowest sold for $157.50 and the highest sold for $355. The majority of them are from Wenatchee, Washington and some are from Yakima, Washington. the one pictured here is from ...

Wenatchee, Washington - Excellent condition - Sold in 2011 for $355.00






Fair Warning! I'm going to be watching for these on eBay and elsewhere and hopefully find a "sleeper"
