Hey, Ya'll. I don't know any company history on this bottle. All examples I have seen are exactly the same which leads me to think they weren't in business long. My guess-timate on price for mint example: $100.00-$125.00. Hendersonville is in the western part of N.C., not to be confused with Henderson, which is more easterly and near Va. border north of Raleigh. Hope this helps. RK

Yeah, that's me on the gono.com site from 25-30 years ago when they only published books. Correct info for me is: Randall Kiger (Randy) 9050 Helsabeck Rd. Rural Hall, NC 27045. (not Rural Hill, which is in Tenn.). Home ph#: 336-969-2327. email: stillimsad@windstream.net Thanks. RK

I won't know if I did this right, or if it will even work until I post this reply, but I took the liberty of changing the "e-mail notification title" back to it's original wording. I'm still not sure why someone would want to change it in the first place, or why that feature even exist, but it kind of bugged me. Thus, my reason for correcting it. But as to how celerycola's "Sanford N.C." thread became part of this one on page three, still mystifies me. I hope you don't mind my drawing attention to this and attempting to set things straight. And in the event the title change isn't corrected, then I will just let it go and let others figure it out if they choose to.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank "Bottle Junkie 56 / Ran Man" for the information on the Hendersonville bottle. It still boggles me how many different brands there are. I had an advanced collector tell me once that he estimated there are at least "ten-thousand" different ACLs out there someplace. Maybe my next thread will attempt to name all of them. Wouldn't that be a hoot? Lol []

Thanks,

Bob

P.S. ~ I would appreciate it if the next individual to post would please let us know which e-mail title this came up under? Thanks ... SPB

RE: My North Carolina embossed soda collection ...

NCBRED, you have a wonderful collection. Thank you for sharing the photos with us. I'm guessing your ACL collection is not as "pathetic" as you think it is.

Also, thanks to all who helped with my Hendersonville bottle... especially NCBRED, who shared his thread for a few posts. I intend to research the Crescent Carbonating Co., and I will post results when I have them.

I just want to say... and it's not the first time it's been said, nor will it be the last... bottle collectors are some of the nicest, most generous people you will ever find.

Now, get back to posting those lovely NC sodas.

RE: Sanford NC emerald green Soda Water

Great color! I wish I could find a Tn Soda Water that color! I have quite a collection of Art Deco Star bottles, great design and shape, but bland colors: clear or light aqua. I found a new one of this type last week, it's in the cleaning tank, so I'll post soon.

RE: CLOVER BRAND Soda Water?

Here is a art deco type, embossed soda I dug last week. It's not on my Tenn. list. A paneled Clover Brand, with a lucky four leaf clover! It was good luck too, found my long sought after, hometown hutch soon afterward! Around base: COCA COLA BOTTLING CO. 6 FL OZ. No other marking, or numbers. Looks like a ROOT bottle, but no marking. Anyone recognize this brand and from what state?

RE: CLOVER BRAND Soda Water?

Here is the complete bottle. Shame it has damage and a deep rust stain. I like it!
