Wren Ga Coke - 2/12/2008 12:42:55 PM    logueb   Posts: 1382 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Have  any of you ever run across a mis-spelled Wrens Georgia bottle embossed "Wren Ga."?  A friend of mine showed me this bottle found in Wrens Georgia.  Unfortunately the top is broken off.  This guy's last name is the same as the misprint "Wren", so he was wondering  about this one.  Any help appreciated.  It's a Patd D-105529 dated 1940.

The makers mark is for UGB. < Message edited by capsoda -- 2/13/2008 7:30:44 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 logueb) Post #: 3

I couldn't get anything to Google-up, so I couldn't confirm that this was correct.  The Wren fellow is going to try to locate a whole one, not for the value, but because of the name connection. I'd like to make contact with the guy who found the bottle to see if he's a digger and collector. Thanks for looking and helping on this one. _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight. (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 4
