Always learning….👍

The article says imported, I have not done a deep dive on it. I have a $5 repop as an example, but always on the lookout.

So, you just had to be first???🤣🤣

That is awesome!

American made are more rare according to this site. https://www.antique-bottles.net/threads/american-codd-bottle.232618/

That answers my question on dates, thanks. Missed your post when I responded to Ron.

I thought Westite bought the AKRO molds after they went under? what are the dates for each company folding?

Here is my pair of the 851’s. The Hardy AKRO reference book specifically id’s these as not AKRO.

I’ve had these with my MKs but now I’m not sure. the brown/white is 1”, the red/black(opaque) is 7/8”.

MK Bowlers

7/8”

I’ve got my prioritoes….

Going to dig and post some tomorrow that I consider keepers. Right now I have a cigar in one hand and a wine glass in the other, typing wit my toes😁

Both seams are shown, identical.

7/8” “Blue Panda”?

Three favorites, although the K&M has a perfect helmet construction. Could be an imposter. 7/8”, 13/16”, and 5/8”

I am camera challenged. I mostly use my iPhone 10 for taking pictures. It has it limitations, and true color is a constant issue. would love to see what others are using. I have seen the gallon milk jug setups, but we are not milk drinkers. My box wine is not condusive to taking good pics🤣🤣👍

Plastic all the way…

Great phots! What camera are you using, and what is your setup?

I was collecting akro ware for years, finally sold most of it last year on eBay. I searched for the boxed tea sets, hoping for the oxblood lemonade holy grail. Never got even a whiff. We see common pieces regularly at antique stores, but most are over-priced. Let me know if you have a list of what you are looking for, always willing to help other people spend their money.🤣
