Found this Cleo Cola bottle at a garage sale.
I have tried to research it but can't find one quite like it.
The clear ACL bottles I see have an additional applied label above the main graphics.
The bottom has a 3, 8, 9, surrounding a logo and also G77.
Says PARFAY COMPANY TOLEDO OHIO on the back.
If anybody knows the value of this bottle I appreciate the help.

Some history to enhance your sales pitch: Cleo Cola was introduced in 1935 by the Whistle soda company. Cleo Cola was named after the cigar favored by the company’s owner (presumably Antonio y Cleopatra cigars, manufactured since 1879). Advertising for the soda featured Queen Cleopatra of Egypt, which may explain the use of what then was considered an “oriental” typeface.

I believe the 3, 8 and 9 signifies that it was made September 1938
