OLD COLONY ACL ~ ???

[simpleman]

Hello,
Picked this up yesterday. All I can find is related to the narrow/smaller ounce bottles. This is 12oz. (7 1/4" tall x 2 7/8" at the base). ---- Age, value???
.
Front - DRINK OLD COLONY BEVERAGES REG. U.S. PAT. OFF. - ORANGE CRUSH CO., CHICAGO H.O. WILSON INC. BENTON HARBOR, MICH.
Embossed around the shoulder - OLD COLONY BEVERAGES
Back - Delightfully Flavored Perfectly Carbonated SWEETENED WITH PURE CANE SUGAR Wholesome Refreshing Try OLD COLONY'S FINE FLAVORS CONTENTS 12 FLUID OUNCES
Embossed on front near base(very small) - G949
On the bottom - 9 <symbol> 1. (looks like C embossed overlapping the 1.)
.
Some of the lettering on the back is worn, so it doesnt show real good. I didnt want to clean it, in fear that it might completely wear off. I tried to contrast the pic, but it still doesnt show good. Label on the front is worn slightly on the right & has scratched off spot around the K in DRINK. The glass itself is in excellent condition. no chips, cracks & very few contact marks. Guess you cant win them all

Odd a 41 without duraglas on the bottom. Maybe an updated older mold, which would explain the overlapping numbers which might explain the C embossing overlapping the 1.

The 9 indicates it was made in the Streator, Illinois factory.
