Cola-Co bottle - 6/11/2008 11:58:19 PM    necie35020   Posts: 286 Joined: 10/28/2007 From: central alabama Status: offline I posted this bottle once before, but still need more info about it. It is embossed with Cola-Co, not Coca-Cola.  I will appreciate any information on it. The lip is damaged on it, but it is still a neat bottle. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

Just as a side collection I thought I would pick up a few Coca-Cola knock offs. Now that collection has taken off and I enjoy looking for them more than the Coke stuff. I have seen a few of the Cola Co. but not one exactly like your's. Great find! (in reply to necie35020) Post #: 5

It was sold in Atmore for a very short time. Got this info from an old timmer in bottle collecting. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to digdug) Post #: 6

RE: Cola-Co bottle - 6/12/2008 6:04:25 PM    celerycola   Posts: 46 Joined: 2/20/2004 From: Alabama Status: offline Cola-Co was a trademark of the Crown City Bottling & Syrup Company of Birmingham. The firm opened in 1912 as a consolidation of several different bottlers and claimed ownership of bottles marked as follows: Deacon Brown, C. C. Co., Alpha, Ozo-Olo, Gleeola, and Cola-Co. Deacon Brown was a Dr. Pepper imitator headquartered in Montgomery and bottled as far away as Philadelphia and New York. Gleeola became Gay-Ola and moved to Memphis leaving the old name bottles in Birmingham. Ozo-Olo operated in Birmingham and Chattanooga. The firm was sued by Coca-Cola because their script C. C. Co. bottles closely resembled Coca-Cola bottles. From the book KolaWars: Birmingham copyright 2007 by Dennis Smith Attachment (1) (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 7
