New to the Morbious Fod collection II: Electric Boogaloo

[morbious_fod]

Of course I picked up the usual go withs this weekend as well. The Rhythm Punch matchbook was an ebay win; however, the Hep from Appalachia, VA, Lonesome Pine Grape, Cherry, and Orange, Old Colonys, and the Big Head Mountain Dew were from the show.

This is my Orange Crush display that I set up at the show.

I was online while you were posting last night, and it was like watching history being made. You didn't say whether or not your display was judged as they sometimes are, but it looks like a "Blue Ribbon" winner to me. (Or should I say, "Orange" ribbon?). All of your bottles are killer, but I'm particularly interested in the "Crush Dry" in the lower center. What's the story on that one? And any chance of a close up image?

Thanks,

SPB

I really didn't want to say anything, but yes there was a vote taken for "Most educational" and "People's Choice" and I didn't win either of them, losing out to my friend Geff's can display for People's Choice, and another club member's display of acls from A to Z, that had a painted label bottle displayed for each letter of the alphabet, which received "Most Educational". Apparently my display just didn't impress many who actually placed a vote; however, it did draw the most viewers throughout the show, according to my own observations, and that's really the point I guess.

Here is a picture of the Crush Dry I posted from when I first received it. Crush Dry was Orange Crush's entry into the "Sparkling Orange" market of the late 1920's and early 1930's, and competed with the more common Mission Sparkling Orange, Lemon, and Grapefruit flavors, College Inn Sparkling Orange, and the Canada Dry Sparkling Orange posted earlier in this very thread.
