I'm betting this is actually Morristown, Tenn. Maybe this was an error on the bottle. Nice bottles by the way.

Nice collection! Thanks for sharing. There was one in there that was a new one to me. Prin Cae Cola or something like that. I may not have spelled it correctly, as I am not looking at it. bottlingco

Thank you for showing us your excellent collection. Very impressive, indeed. How long did it take you to assemble these guys?
What, no Lime Cola?

Though I bet these bottles of Stephen's have a trail of legal history, surprisingly, not the Fosfo-Cola. Cecil Munsey has the lowdown. Check at the bottom of that page "159 Immitation Coke Bottle Fosfo Cola."

Status: offline 		Surfaceone, thanks for the info.  I read the article written by Cecil Munsey about the Fosfo-Cola.  And I have put a Lime Cola on here for you.  I have a few more of these, mostly variations of ones already pictured, but I have a Glee-Cola, Magic Cola, My=Coca-Co, Pin-Ap-Ola, Coca-Lula, My-Ola and a Ozo-Olo to take pics of.  I know there are many more out there but some are dang rare.  I would like the Keen Kola from Wichita Falls, Texas if anybody has one!

Oh, and it took me about 3 years to get all of those.  I had quit collecting them and went to druggists alone but have added 2 or 3 copycats in the last few months.

Thanks,

Stephen

Thanks for that. What, no Lemon Cola?

Do'ya still have the Afrikola Bottling Works Oklahoma City, Okla. bottle, or did you trade it? I'd love to see a photo of that guy, as well.

Do you have information on the Prin-Cae Cola, Williamston, N.C.? I found diddly on that guy.

Status: offline 		Well, you got me there, I do not have a Lemon Cola.  I do have an Afrikola from Oklahoma City and the later version of it the Jay Kola with embossed bird on shoulder.  I do not have any info on that Prin-Cae Cola.  The entire embossing is: Prin-Cae Cola (going up bottle) then Prin Cae Cola Beverage Co. Williamston, N.C. above base.
