This one is on eBay. I could be wrong but I don't think it to be as common. [attachment=Mac's bev..jpg]

is insane to think one person has all those bottles and the pictures are of his traders ? that's not even his collection ? I see a few bottles in the picture I've been looking for but can't find a single one for sale anywhere and i've been like everywhere and he has like 3 of some of them . he must of bought like every descent pop bottle he saw for sale at every store he was ever in

since the 50's ? that would make sense as you could never acquire all those bottles today even if you tried it just be too hard and expensive to find them all . and there also in really good condition , none really appear to be dump dug . did he have any embossed bottles from 1910's-30's eras ? or just acl's ?

I think they are all ACL's...Condition on most are really good, but in a group photo you cant really tell as a couple of the ones I received were a little lesser condition than I'd hoped.I noticed in the picture he has a few paper labels. The western Canadians I did not see any paper or embossed.

he's got some good stuff there , one thing I'd worry about as if other collectors realised there was that many other bottles out there of some of these they'd realise some were not that rare , I mean he's got like 3-4 bottles each in his traders of various bottles I previously though were very hard to find or never even seen yet but maybe he just has them all ? cause I haven't seen any of some of them for sale last couple of years . but often with bottles quanity doesn't mean quality but in this case it does , its a very impressive collection

It's crazy though hey....I grabbed a couple of bottles that I'd never seen before as well. If I had a rare bottle say one pictured for example, Knowing all the facts that he is an exception...so what if he has 3-5 of your rare bottle....there will be that many collectors out there that probably don't have it anyways.He told my friend he does not display his keepers because people would wander away from the for sale stuff!...this way they just see whats for sale [:D]

That Go V's Go bottle is great! I would imagine they're probably more rare, though I've only ever seen my version up close enough to see what the neck said, so I can't say for sure.
