Show your favorite soda-pop bottle!

[Robby Raccoon]

ACLBottle's SHOW YOUR FAVORITE HUTCH!!!! chat created a monster, as you've realized if you go through all the chats. Show your favorite milk, beer, and now soda-pop bottle are threads I've started, inspired by his successful and wonderful idea. I'll do a poisons next just for the heck of it albeit I don't have one. But here's my call to you all to show off your most favorite soda-pop bottle--embossed, ACL, or paper label. Provide a spot of history and a date-range for it and let us all admire which you have selected (do try to choose only one, but I'll put a maximum of three. Else it's not quite a favorite.) Here's mine: A Baltimore loop-seal Hutch-type blob-top (did I get all the terms right?) Muskegon Bottling Works bottle, late 1880s to early 1890s. It's my oldest piece and the best piece I've purchased. Next to it is an S-S Coca-Cola from before 1915 that is one of my oldest and most valuable local bottles I'v found--you can't see much on it, but it's a nice main-display bottle of mine. In the end, a hardly-shown Drink Paul's Drinks bottle from between 1917 to 1920ish in 'Root lime green,' as a friend here and I came up with as a color name, might be my favorite as an early find that didn't want to pop up in research.

It's hard to pick a favorite. Pressed, I'd have to say it might be the ribbed 7up 8 bubble from Athens AL. But I like the Sour Puss too. Some reason it makes me smile. There are many others -

The Sous Pus indeed looks very sour. Wouldn't wanna meet him in a dark alley. Looks like something from Pop Eye, really. I like the colors and ACLs on both.

Me and jdc84 dig together and I happen to have a few pics of his moonglo. And even though we have older bottles my favorites are the 10 2 and 4 dr.pepper bottles. I love the marketing campaign behind them.
