one gallon Smile Deco--$350.00 - 1/31/2012 12:32:09 PM    druggistnut Posts: 1148 Joined: 1/7/2006 From: Otisville, Michigan Status: offline How common are large bottles like the one that just sold for $350.00?  Is that a "normal" price for such a bottle? http://www.ebay.com/itm/smile-one-gallon-patented-july-11-1922-coke-diplay-bottle-18-inches-tall-/280801931235?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4161196fe3 It looks exactly like the regular sized bottles, but was this a syrup dispenser, or what? Looks like it sold a week earlier for 75.00, he had to re-list and it went for 350.00 Bill _____________________________ Michigan drugstore bottles/dose glasses, jugs, etc...

The fact that it does have a contents notation would indicate that it was used at one time for soda; however, it was more likely a display bottle. _____________________________ My website chronicling the soda bottling companies of the Southwest Virginia or Northeast Tennessee area including Bluefield, Princeton, and Rock West Virginia www.tazewell-orange.com NEW ARTICLES: Just say Mil-Kay the story of Mil-K-Botl (in reply to druggistnut) Post #: 2

Makes me wonder on the mould that made it. I've seen the display size Coca-Colas in several instances. I wanna say a big Nehi, too, not quite sure, as that was at my very first bottleshow.. I'm disremembering other brands. Who amongst the sodaistas has seen another Smile or other interesting brands. I'm having a recovering memory of a big Crush, maybe...
