I paid 30 for all three of them (20 for Dad's, 5 for 7up and Red Rock). I got the Dad's one because I really liked how cool it looked, and it was also over 50% off. The 7up is horribly misprinted (nothing lines up!) and it's super bright. The Red Rock is one I haven't seen before, it's super clean, and it was bottled in my hometown. I've tried to find these on eBay, but the results didn't seem accurate. I just want to know more about each one of these please.

TIA,
Dom

Hey 23, I am not much of an acl collector, but $30 sounds kinda high to me. Maybe someone else will have better news. I suppose if you love them, it might be worth it to you.

Hello 23, It's all about what you like !! I am from Ohio myself, Now living in Va. I still collect Ohio bottles as well as Va. bottles. I think you did "OK" in your investment!! As long as your having fun and doing something you enjoy,then it's all good. You will buy a lot of bottles and decide which ones are your favorite . Keep on collecting and maybe you will find that special bottle we all look for someday !! Good luck. Kevin......

[;)] I think you did ok, that 7 up bottle will give you a headache if you look at it too long, been drinkin the stuff for years and have never seen one so mis-registered, good pick!!

it is a great deal..the labels in decent condition.. the "glass keg" is another variation on the labels ..it say's "papa size". the 7up is a keeper..

Thanks for the feedback guys. It seems there are some mixed reviews on my investment, but I'm feeling pretty good. The Red Rock bottle really makes me want to start collecting just Ohio bottles (unless it is like the 7up, where you just have to have it). Now I've just got to do some research!

23,
I collect beer and soda bottles from Akron an points south of there. Are you interested in just ACL's or other embossed soda bottles? I will take pictures and post them if you are interested.

I'm interested in any soda bottle that appeals to me, it's just that I happened to buy ACL's more than embossed ones lately.
