Hey everyone, just thought I'd post a couple pictures of seven of my favorite ACLs that I own. I don't think people have posted many pictures of their ACLs very recently, so I guess I'll post some of mine! So here they are:[attachment=IMG_2171.JPG]1. 1940 Tay from Waycross, GA.2. 1942 Spring Bank Beverages from Louisville, KY.3. 1942 Bum's Root Beer from Los Angeles, CA.4. 1944 Country Boy Beverages from San Diego, CA. [attachment=IMG_2173.JPG]5. 1948 Frontier Beverages from North Platte, NE.6. 1949 Kist Kola without a city.7. 1955 Sand Springs from Williamstown, MA. Enjoy!

Thanks for the comments everyone! The Frontier ACL is pretty nice looking, but I don't think it's all that rare. I think my favorite of all is probably the Spring Bank... Here's a cropped picture of just the label.[attachment=IMG_2171-001.JPG]

Frontier.*High-paw.* I should show my two new ACLs soon.
Any history on any of these? As in more than just a date and name?

Notice the different phonetic spellings of the word "tay" around the lower part of the bottle! Such as "tae", etc. embossed into the glass. It is these quirky little things that make bottle collecting fun! ~bottlingco

The one most visible does say 'Tay', but if you turn the bottle, it also says 'Ta','Tae', 'Te', 'Tea', 'Taa'. In other words anyway you could phonetically spell tea including putting a southern draw accent on it such as Tae! Mine is from Dallas and these are fairly rare, probably because it likely tasted like ____________. I have never seen another from Dallas, but did see the other town once before. ~bottlingco
