Couple of Tuscaloosa Alabama SS Cokes - 1/23/2012 1:27:34 PM    Targe   Posts: 16 Joined: 1/24/2006 Status: offline Got these from a family that found them in an old trunk.  There was a note in there from the grandmother describing how the two cokes were part of the picnic where the grandfather proposed to her.  The family kept the note.  It's interesting that the two bottles were evidently in use at the same time and place with the same markings but one is a blue color, the other green...and the script is slight different since that on the blue is smaller and thinner.

I hope to get the note one day.  I've been promised at least a photocopy of it.   (in reply to Uncle_Jarvis) Post #: 4
