Chero-Cola & Coca Cola - 3/16/2009 7:27:22 PM    whimsy   Posts: 35 Joined: 3/11/2009 Status: offline The Chero-Cola bottle is marked Dalton, Ga, The coke is Cartersville, Ga   I tried looking online last night and found some info on the Chero bottle and places it was manufactured but no mention of Dalton.   Attachment (1) Post #: 1

Most Chero Cola Company bottles are not worth very much but if it is unknown it could be worth $20 and up to a Chero collector. _____________________________ 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 whimsy) Post #: 6

I know where there is a factory foundation full of them. Dug out about a thousand of them to get 2 or 3 keepers and I didn't even dent the load. Hard work busting the slab but underneath there is white sand and bottles. It was the Royal Crown Bottling Co. _____________________________ 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 glass man) Post #: 8

Georgia Status: offline You know I've gotta throw my two cents worth in on the Cheros.  First of all, most block script bottles 1914-23 are less than $20 in pretty good shape.  Most 1912's and 1913's are at least $20 in pretty good shape.  Lately, there have been about three or four of us on ebay that have generated some pretty good bidding on small town Georgia Chero-Colas.  Several have gone over $100.  Chero of course was a competitor of Coke starting in 1912.  The first (and most) bottles were bottled in Columbus, Ga.  Both (Chero and Coke) were strong sellers in the south and in Georgia in particular in the latter part of the teens.  Eventually, there was a total of 69 towns in Georgia that bottled Chero-Cola.  Chero stayed in one lawsuit or another with Coca Cola for most of its early existance.  It eventually became Nehi then Royal Crown Cola, then just a side product that eventually died out.  Here are a few examples as the years rolled by... 1912 Cuthbert, Ga...

Does anyone know anything about this, why would it say this bottle never sold? I dig bottles in North LA but have ran out of places to dig, now I am realtor that deals in Foreclosures and this was in an old shed and in great condition, no stains, no chips, beautiful bubbles all in it. Can anyone tell me the date and what it may be worth, I dont want to sell it though, I like it too much.  But if it is worth something I Might. (in reply to whimsy) Post #: 19
