Status: offline 		Here are three possibilites that I can think of:

1. A prototype that never went into production

2. Test market bottle with limited distribution

3. Fantasy item made using a 1959 NDNR bottle that had no original label remaining

The paint does look really new and shiny....but then again the glass color looks close to Coke's typical green

Certainly a cool looking and unusual bottle. Hopefully one of the Coke collectors here will know something about it.

I believe it was number two in your reasoning, Somewhere on the Kovels site there was a remark and a pic of this very same bottle, and I believe it was stated that it was a test market launch with a limited production, and I believe they even said where, but it was so long ago i cant remember all the info.....Sorry

Status: offline 		Thanks for all of the replys and the info. I will try to get a pic of the top of it for you asap. I liked the bottle and though it had to be something special. Thanks for all of the great info and hopefully we can find out about this one. If it was a test market bottle i wonder how long it was out or how many of these could have even made it to market. Once again i want to thank everyone for helping and hope we can figure this one out.
