Can it be repaired? - 2/22/2010 7:52:44 PM    garrett1987   Posts: 59 Joined: 6/16/2008 Status: offline All the bottles I find are always broken..If I could find the other half or atleast a top half that looked somewhat decent could it be repaired? Could I use like a Epoxy or something? I know it is worthless but I'm not looking to make any money I just like the way it looks. Or should I just throw this bottle away? _____________________________ Umm yeah. Post #: 1

Can it be repaired? Probably. Almost anything can if you are willing to pay enough. Is it worth it to repair it? Not likely. This is a very common bottle used nationwide. Sometimes, the names of the town on the bottom can be rare or unusual which would make the bottle a bit more collectible. However, 99 out of 100, it won't be rare. And even then, most collectors will not want a big honking repair (like the one needed on your example). If you like the bottle, cut it down or grind off the sharp edges and use it as a pencil holding cup. Stick with it, you'll find so many of these over time that you won't even want them anymore.

Yeah it is a hobbleskirt coke, name on the bottom Kinston, NC. Like I said, I'm just a simple amateur collector I'm not trying to impress the big shot collectors or make any cash. I guess I could always use a pencil holding cup.. _____________________________ Umm yeah. (in reply to blobbottlebob) Post #: 5
