I tried for that one on the far right, but you beat me to the punch. I score this one off Ebay. Its about 1" taller then the other SS Cokes Ive got and is an Icy blue color. It says root on the bottom, and the bottom is somewhat concave. Attachment (1) (in reply to coke_and_stuff) Post #: 2

What did that one end up costing you? If I ever sell the Richmond you have first dibs on it.

I dont know if its hard to find. They might find hundreds in some cache tomorrow. I doubt it though. I collect ancient bronze coins and its same thing! Someone in Isreal, Iraq, Germany, Cyprus, Lebanon could find a ton of them tomorrow. I liked the Logo and thought it was a cool bottle. It books for 225- I paid about half that much. Probably fair deal, market value.     Pete (in reply to coke_and_stuff) Post #: 5

I had quite a few SS Cokes but wittled them down to locals and a few others. Here is a crappy pic of the bunch on the shelf.

Are the labels originals? Joey _____________________________ Collector of Soda Machines, Advertising signs, Gas & Oil, and straight sided Coca Cola bottles (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 8

RE: Straight Sided Coca Cola bottles - 6/22/2008 3:01:13 AM    capsoda Posts: 7700 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: online The one on the bottle is and the one in the frame on the right is. The one hanging on the left is a fake from the 1970s. I also have a few go withs like these watch fobs. Ebay has really brought the value down on these unless they are in excellent condition. These are in great condition.

RE: Straight Sided Coca Cola bottles - 6/22/2008 9:47:40 AM    popster Posts: 23 Joined: 6/9/2008 Status: offline Warren Nice collection. Ive collected lots of stuff and now try to either specialize or think "Quality over quantity" when accumulating stuff. Man, I had thousands of beer cans, they overflowed our house back in the 70's. At this point Ebay is helpful as if I make a buy I usually sell something to help pay for it. I like the watch FOBS and safety markers. Ive got a Dr.Pepper Marker. I dont have a Coke, but think they made Coke and Grapette markers as well. Pete (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 10

I remember them in the sidewalks when I was a kid. There is also a Crush marker but they are high buck items. I have been cutting back mostly to local stuff and a few other I tems. The wife said if I start collecting ACLs I'm a dead man. _____________________________ 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 popster) Post #: 11

RE: Straight Sided Coca Cola bottles - 6/22/2008 2:21:08 PM    coke_and_stuff   Posts: 13 Joined: 6/5/2008 Status: offline Thanks for sharing the pics, This is what got me started into Straight Sided Bottles. I bought the while I was working in Long Beach, CA this spring. I walked into a Antique store and ended up buying 6 signs he cut me a good deal and the rest is history. Ive been offered alot for this sign but its one of the few im keeping. Its from 1908 I also bought this one last month off ebay 1917 notice there is no Black outline around the letters very hard to find Joey _____________________________ Collector of Soda Machines, Advertising signs, Gas & Oil, and straight sided Coca Cola bottles (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 12
