OLD COCA COLA - 2/1/2008 8:38:04 PM    cwizards   Posts: 9 Joined: 2/1/2008 Status: offline I have a Coca Cola bottle that only has a big "C" with a oak wreath around it on the upper half of the bottle.  On the bottom of the bottle it says "COCA COLA BOT.Co L.A. NET CONT. 61/2 FL.oz" There is a large "C" in the center of the bottom too.  Any idea what year it is???? Attachment (1) < Message edited by cwizards -- 2/2/2008 3:34:19 PM > Post #: 1

RE: OLD COCA COLA - 2/2/2008 11:49:51 AM    cwizards   Posts: 9 Joined: 2/1/2008 Status: offline When I first met my father-in-law in El Paso (1980), he took me to this special spot in Texas.  We drove from El Paso out into the flat lands NE and met with a old desert farmer that he knew and the farmer told us we could go on his land.  They slapped each other on the back, and off we went. We drove up to a natural spring, on a small hill (mountain for elp).  There were some adobie walls standing. At the base of the hill, there was a opening.  Inside there were walls with indian painting.  arrow, and spear heads everwhere.  I have a few  ;) I found the bottle around the (calvary) adobie walls.  I found some calvary (metal) tack too. Dated 1919.  I have had the bottle for all these years, but never could put a date or value on it.  I collect anything. I also have a 1929 Uncle Jo bottle. 4oz., and a Nehi bottle dated 1925 from the same area. I follow the indian, cowboy trails. Happy Trails I don't have a date on the Purex bottle too.  Didn't come from Texas. (Purex came back in a e-mail and dated the bottle 1930) < Message edited by cwizards -- 2/10/2008 3:38:07 PM > (in reply to rlo) Post #: 5

RE: OLD COCA COLA - 2/2/2008 10:06:51 PM    digger mcdirt   Posts: 903 Joined: 8/8/2005 Status: offline Sure it has some how much I really don't know them from that area. Here from my state they can run from $8-$100 depending on the town etc. I would figure that would be more common as per the size of city but it could be a different style etc. I would not be in a rush to sell it until I researched it good as there are sleepers in the CC Sodas. _____________________________ McDirt (in reply to cwizards) Post #: 11
