Stolen Celery Cola Bottle - 8/12/2007 10:13:50 AM    dismithny   Posts: 14 Joined: 8/12/2007 Status: offline At the Atlanta Bottle Yesterday a bottle was stolen from a box under my table. It is a label-under-glass fountain syrup bottle approximately 12" tall. The blue label reads  "Celery=Cola""You'll Like It' I had the bottle with me to include in my exhibit at the National Bottle Show in Collinsville, IL this week. A report is on file with the Smyrna GA Police. If anyone tries to sell the bottle to you please notify me immediately. If you know of another bottle like this one please let me know so I don't cause any problems for someone who legitimately owns another one of these. I have owned the bottle twenty-five years and it is the only one existing as far as I know. I will send a photo when I can get one in hand. You can reach me by telephone Toll Free 1-866-840-9355. Please pass this on to anyone who may be approached to buy this bottle. Thanks for your help. Dennis SmithP O Box 1913Buffalo, NY 14225celerycola@yahoo.com Post #: 1

So sorry to hear about it being stolen. < Message edited by digdug -- 8/13/2007 6:30:56 AM > (in reply to dismithny) Post #: 2

I would have liked to have seen that bottle, I talked w/ and bought a bottle from ya.Like I said I'd like to have seen it. There are several ways in my thinking on this. One is who ever took it enjoys it as much as you have and something better [ if possible ] will come along. You will get it back, what's somebody gonna do w/ it, if ya can't show it to someone it's no good. Or who ever took it trips,falls,breaks it, falls on it, cut a major and bleeds to death w/ enough time to ponder how life would have been longer if they had'nt taken that bottle, there's another version where it rolls out from under the seat stuck under the brakes....... your bottle your choice of  come around.

RE: Stolen Celery Cola Bottle - 9/8/2007 12:41:09 PM    dismithny   Posts: 14 Joined: 8/12/2007 Status: offline Thanks to an alert Atlanta collector the bottle stolen at the Atlanta Bottle Show last month was recovered at a local Atlanta flea market. The guy who had the bottle at his booth "had no idea how it ended up in his box." I appreciate all of the concern from friends and fellow collectors. The response I've received since posting this last month reconfirms what I've always believed: the greatest thing about the bottle collecting hobby is the friends I've collected over the years.
