Are there fake straight sided Coke bottles? - 8/4/2007 1:53:32 PM    ShowMeStateBottles   Posts: 105 Joined: 7/29/2007 Status: offline Do people reproduce these bottles? I just bought one that looks brand new, but it has a lot of bubbles and a very crude seam line.  It just looks like it was made yesterday. I'm not complaining about the bottle, it looks great! I'm just wondering about it. Thanks! _____________________________ Revelation 21:7 Post #: 1

I can't believe how clean this bottle really is. _____________________________ Revelation 21:7 (in reply to madman) Post #: 8

I gave $35 for the bottle a few days ago, I feel like I got a pretty good deal on it. _____________________________ Revelation 21:7 (in reply to bottlenutboy) Post #: 12

I mean if it was tumbled clean, that had to almost cost the price that i gave for it, so I'm pretty happy about that.  _____________________________ Revelation 21:7 (in reply to bottlenutboy) Post #: 14

Status: offline you are correct, you did good, you didnt over pay at all, a good tumble costs between $15-$25 IF it was tumbled, it doesnt really look like it was, most times if a bottle is tumbled it still looks a little worn, or the embossing gets weaker and more rounded _____________________________ 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 ShowMeStateBottles) Post #: 15

RE: Are there fake straight sided Coke bottles? - 8/5/2007 12:01:48 AM    ShowMeStateBottles   Posts: 105 Joined: 7/29/2007 Status: offline It has very bold embossing, and i can't find anything wrong with it at all. Bottlenutboy, I was going to tell you that I'm thinking about auctioning off  some bottles in a few days, but before I do, I'm going to give you a list of the bottles and their condition and let you pick one out for making me a copy of the porter's Coca cola book. I will send you a list later. _____________________________ Revelation 21:7 (in reply to bottlenutboy) Post #: 16

I know that you like crown top bottles, but these are all Hutchinson bottles except one and it's an older blob top soda kind of like a squat soda bottle.

RE: Are there fake straight sided Coke bottles? - 8/5/2007 1:42:38 PM    capsoda Posts: 7923 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: online Excellent buy and a very nice bottle. In that condition it would go a little higher. Possibly $45 to $50. There are several repops out there but they were put out by Coke for anniversaries and centennials/bi-centennial celebrations and have ACLs. _____________________________ 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 bottlenutboy) Post #: 20
