Although I don't see many of the light green Mint Cola bottles from Maysville, the amber one is considered the rarer of the two. A nice one usually goes anywhere from $75-$100. Maysville is the birthplace of Mint Cola. A few years after it expanded to Salsbury, NC, Mint Cola went bankrupt but continued to sell under that name into the 30's. It was there that the owner added cherry and other flavors to Mint Cola and developed Cheerwine. They ceased producing Mint Cola because of the Great Depression and continued with Cheerwine because it was the more popular of the two.
