Great Nichol Kola bottles Eric. Did you see the Nichol Sunsweet bottle that is currently on ebay? It's a little worn but a hard to find bottle. I have a rare Nichol Kola out of Nashville, TN. I'd be willing to trade it for the right ACL soda bottle.
Also, noticed you have a Squeeze and Pepsi collection. I'd love to see some pics of that. Especially the Squeeze ACLs. I have some rare Pepsis for trade too.
Thanks acls...
Since finding this site about a year or so ago I find myself looking more for botttles....
I'm more into the coolers and machines. but you gotta have the bottles to display with the machines.. when I bought a GE Pepsi cooler I bought a Pepsi-Cola bottle crate... and been trying to fill it with ACL Pepsi's... about have it filled... I try to stick with mint to near mint... I bought a rough Squeeze cooler off the bay about a yeat ago never seen another and plannging to restore... so of course I've been buying Squeeze bottles to diplay with it... (only have one ACL) as I bought a few cardboard carriers from late 30s early 40s and filling those with the embossed bottles.
I really enjoy see what the members here find.... just like watching what machines the guys at soda-machines.com find amazing what is still out there just waiting for us... I bought a Pepsi machines 2 weeks ago and for a 50 year old machine unreal the condition it's in....
What bottle you looking for acls?... can you post a pic of the Nichol Kola...Like to know if I don't have it and if I NEED it! Ha...
Here's the Pepsi machine I just bought....
I'm liking that Pepsi machine. I am out of town until after Crhistmas. I'll post you a pic of my Nichol Kola from Nashville when I get back. The Nashville Nichol Kolas are really hard to find. I have only seen 2 of them ever and I live in Nashville.
Hi eric, I checked my inventory list and it shows I had two local Nichols, one from Memphis and Brownsville Tn. The Brownsville Nichols was a 12 oz staight side , dimpled and paneled, was embossed on shoulders: NICHAOL KOLA , had a faded ACL , and was shown bottled by THE RAINBOW BOTTLING CO. BROWNSVILLE TENN. It was sold a few years back, as it was well worn , but very rare! I still have a similar Memphis Nichol Kola bottle. I look for it this week. Rick
Just wanted to post a couple new additions to my collection and say a BIG THANK YOU to 2 members of the board that made it possible....
Andy and Matt!
Matt sold me the Nashville TN ACL/embossed bottle and Andy sold me my FIRST Nichol Kola crate... I'm in the process of making dividers for the crate out of black foam core so I can display bottles inside and place it by the cooler!
Thanks again guys for remembering me while your out and about hunting bottles!
Members helping members... one of the many things that sets this site above others.
The other 2 acl bottles are from a seller off ebay..
