a162843. That is a great bottle which appears to be in excellent shape for an ACL bottle of its age. Do you mind if I ask where it was located? It does not appear to be a dug bottle. Also could you include a pic of the bottom?
Warren, I am somewhat puzzled by this bottle. When you view all the info on the RC Cola websites, they state that there were two versions of the ACL label. One showing the pyramids and one without. I have two in my collection. The one with the pyramids has a copyright date of 1936 on the label, and the other one is without the pyramids. I'll include a photo. I remember these two versions as a child drinking RC's . But this a first for me on on the one A162843 has.
Here ya go. The bottle on the right is vintage 1934 to 36/37. The bottle on the left is vintage 1936/37 until some time in WW2. the bottles with out the pyrmids was next and then the green with red diamond ACL.
Now you will read alot of crapola about when the 12oz bottle came out and who's idea it was BUT the one with the paper lable is a first vintage depression era bottle and it is 12oz.[]
Warren, Thanks for the pics. I'll try to get some close- ups of the ones that I have.
After seeing the base of A162843's bottle and the fact that the 534 ml is on the label, don't you agree that this is not a vintage bottle? I'm not sure when they began putting both the ounces an ml on products but I believe it is fairly recent.
it cant be a 50s bottle it has the quantity in mL and look at the shape of the crown cap it has 80's written all over it and the texture thing around the rim of the bottom its an 80's bottle and proably worthless
