Status: offline i realize that chero cola's do not get the respect they deserve, and there are alot that are quite common, BUT what alot of people dont realize is that like everything else, there are quite a few that are rare, and hard to get, because of this lack of interest an extremely rare bottle wont make it over around $60 when an ,lets say, equally rare SS coke would easily do 10x that amount. i just scored this one off ebay, for about $25 shipping and all, i couldnt believe it, ive looked around for quite a while putting my book together, and this is THE ONLY teal chero cola ive ran across, ive seen all other colors including, purple(both irradiated and non), aqua, green, and citron here is a picture of it next to a plain common aqua one Attachment (1) _____________________________ bottles for sale on my website! go check it out! http://www.geocities.com/cleburneslim/index.html?1170417418125 also check out the same bottles on my freewebs site!: http://www.freewebs.com/bottlenutboy/forsale.htm Spencer Post #: 1

It is interesting. It makes me wonder how old the Nehi bottling plant is in Bluefield, VA. I looks like a fairly old building, I wonder if it is old enough to have bottled Chero Cola. If I find out any information about it's bottling them during my research I will let you know. (in reply to bottlenutboy) Post #: 6

Status: offline that building wouldnt have to be all that old, it wasnt started until 1903, in columbus Ga, and a few years later until they actually started to branch out, chero cola was made up until its formula remanufacture around 1935 LOUIS! shame on you! quit being lazy and contribute your chero cola bottles! i need the info for real though, if you can get to them i would appreciate it thank you both I  would really like to get my hands on one of those citron examples, they look pretty good too.... the reason a few came out teal and citron instead of plain aqua and green is because when they mixed a new batch of glass, it was pretty concentrated to start with, so the first few bottles from a new batch came out alot darker and slightly different shades original colors were aqua,green,and clear known colors that chero's come in now are clear, aqua, green, citron, sun colored, and teal _____________________________ bottles for sale on my website! go check it out! http://www.geocities.com/cleburneslim/index.html?1170417418125 also check out the same bottles on my freewebs site!: http://www.freewebs.com/bottlenutboy/forsale.htm Spencer (in reply to L C) Post #: 8

When I was drafted into the Armed Forces, that is where those crazy people sent me first. First time away form home and was sent to a worse city than the one I lived and grew up in. Didn't think that was at all possible. Although there was this one night in the old part of Columbus down on eighth street, me and a couple of other guys met up with these Pros,,,,, well, never mind that, I still shudder when I recall how that evening ended for us ..... As for the Chero bottles Spence, I do not believe you understand just how buried they are ! Will take a look tomorrow and see if I can somehow get into some of them, I am not promising anything though. (in reply to bottlenutboy) Post #: 9

If you would sell it, even for, say $150-200, you'll still kick yourself in the a$$ later when you want one and can't find another. I know from experience . Sold a good local medicine and got killer $$ for it. Now I want it, and don't have it. Never again! They print $$ every day, but they don't make these rare glass beauties anymore. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to bottlenutboy) Post #: 14

The Chero (I got) when I dug w/ Zane last is ice blue. I'll get you a pic when I get back from vacation. Your 'teal' above looks very ice blue to me. White backgrounds are very important when dealing w/ color, which is something to think about if you're adding pics to your book. I have a clear Richmond, Va. variation (w/ pic) on my 'For Sale' site. I add this because I don't see it on your city listing. There must be a good many from Va. but I really don't pay much attention to them. I can PM you w/ a local soda man to give you a list.   _____________________________ 'Meech' Our websites: http://mysite.verizon.net/flaschenjager/bottles.html Member of FOHBC - RABCA - APBCA Editor of 'The Digger' in full color!
