Please help! Gay-Ola and a few others - 10/15/2006 7:26:53 PM    wahtisit   Posts: 5 Joined: 10/15/2006 Status: offline Can ANYONE tell me ANYTHING about a bottle I have. it is a clear Gay-Ola bottle from Prattville (Alabama) Bottle Works. I ahve been looking everywhere online and all I have found out was that they were produced sometime between 1909 and 1913. Pepsi bought them out. I cannot find the value of any of these bottles on any book, at any store or ebay or anything. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!! Post #: 1

They generally go for 5 to 10 bucks.There is info on them on the internet but you really have to search for it and it is usually in bits and pieces. Try this thread. http://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/Gay_Ola/m_76166/tm.htm < Message edited by capsoda -- 10/15/2006 9:14:26 PM > _____________________________ 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 wahtisit) Post #: 2

The early Bim ones in amber from the Southern states bring fairly good. kovels a couple of years ago  list the script Memphis Tenn at $90 I have sold several for $50-$75. We dig them in about 4 styles and the Yellow one brings the most. They also come in aqua and amethyst. I think the later ABM version does not bring a lot $10-$15 range but don't confuse those with the early crude script ones. DMD (in reply to wahtisit) Post #: 5
