So today I was able to buy a batch of bottles for cheap (20 bucks). Sometimes you can't pass things up - even if your basement/garage is full of boxes of bottles.

I'm going to photo them and post them here for your viewing pleasure. If you want to see the other side of a specific bottle or a better picture - let me know.

Its going to take me a while to get them all posted.

Pictures are Left to right. This is what is embossed on one side of the bottle.

Picture 1:

More pictures. The last pictures are two green bottles. One looks to have an interwined "SP" and the other is a Very heavey and thick bottle - I think its actually dark green. I photo'd the bottom because it has that little nipple piece.

Here are pictures of the ACL Soda bottles that were in the batch.

I don't do these - so they will all be tag sale fodder.

I'd pay 20 for all of those in a heartbeat. Very nice, good buy!

Well that was my feeling.

The thing that drives me crazy is that I cannot find any information on so many of these bottles online or on ebay just to find another example.

Does anyone know of a list of all soda/beer bottles by state or something? I found one online but so many of these were not listed.

i have dozens of old bottle collector magazines from the late 1970’s/early 80’s I can check.

Man that would be awesome - and greatly appreciated.

I've also been struggling to find any information on Portland Bottling works from Portland CT. Its one town from me and I can't find anything.

As for the bitters - its not a wheaton but its also not a high dollar bottle. It has some internal damage in the glass - but I dont' have any bitters so its on the shelf.
 
That greenish whiskey is gorgeous, love the color! Nice green mission beverages,never seen one that color.
You got a lot of great bottles!
 
Love that India Wharf bottle in Pic 1. Love the vertical writing.

The Doyle's Hops is on every bottle diggers bucket list, amber notwithstanding. Now if it were Oive green...

What a great group of glass for almost no $$!
