Don't know anyone who ever really paid much attention to them. Your would be very nice if tumbled clean. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ http://www.bornagainamerican.org (in reply to necie35020) Post #: 2

RE: Celery Cola - 11/9/2007 3:16:06 AM    necie35020   Posts: 384 Joined: 10/28/2007 From: central alabama Status: offline Thanks Marjorie. There is a really good article on Celery Cola and photos at the link below. At least I think it is.  Eventually, I want to sell some of my bottles, but have no idea what some of them are worth or how many of them are around. I would like to go to some of the bottle shows if I can find some in this area. I think the Celery cola is important because of it's connection to Coca cola just as the National Dope is. I looked at the one on ebay, and you are right. It looks nothing like mine. I think mine is older even though that one has a fancier look to it. http://www.shorpy.com/celery-cola (in reply to marjorie040) Post #: 5

I have talked to him before and he is very helpful. < Message edited by digdug -- 11/9/2007 7:15:02 AM > (in reply to necie35020) Post #: 6

RE: Celery Cola - 11/9/2007 12:52:25 PM    necie35020   Posts: 384 Joined: 10/28/2007 From: central alabama Status: offline Hey digdug, I emailed Dennis Smith last week concerning the National Dope bottle. He responded almost immediately and was very helpful. He said  "The National Dope Company operated in Birmingham 1909-11. The company started in the 1880s as Birmingham Steam Bottling Works and began bottling a kola drink called Dope around 1902."  I didn't think to ask him about the Celery Cola.  I do plan to purchase his book. He has apparently done lots of research. Thank you for your help. I did not know that he was a member of this forum. (in reply to digdug) Post #: 7

RE: Celery Cola - 9/3/2008 6:52:21 AM    FloridaDigger   Posts: 53 Joined: 8/21/2008 Status: offline wow; ...nice bottle necie, ..here in Fla. we have a art deco style CELO cola from Tampa that is a celery drink, but not a slug-plate older soda like yours. There's not too many celery drinks available; ..and I like that your bottle is a copy-cat like bottle (copying Coca-Cola).  (in reply to ncbred) Post #: 13

RE: Celery Cola - 9/5/2008 7:54:49 AM    FloridaDigger   Posts: 53 Joined: 8/21/2008 Status: offline Necie; ...If it was from Florida I would have been interested. I sold most of everything that ws not Fla. After accumulating thousands of bottles one eventually has to specialize. I still have thousands of common bottles left over; ..you know stuff like Chamberlains, three-in one, watkins, horlicks, bromo's, fletchers, etc. +++ tons of unembossed cork-tops. I would love to sell all in one fell swoop. At one time i was keeping everyhting i dug older than 1930's that had no damage; ..but then learned that Fla. bottles was where the value and demand is; ...low production & high demand = value. Everybody has their own special interest when it comes to collecting. (in reply to necie35020) Post #: 15
