RE: yard sale treasures - 2/18/2007 5:40:32 PM    bubbas dad Posts: 1373 Joined: 3/30/2005 From: South Carolina, USA Status: offline the ones with "PAT.D 105529" were issued 1938-1951. is your other one without the number a 6 or 6 1/2 oz bottle? 6oz dates 1951-1958 and 6 1/2 198-1965. rutland pat d bottle is listed as common. i would say $2 was a good price. _____________________________ john the older i get, the smarter my father gets!

RE: yard sale treasures - 2/18/2007 6:21:49 PM    epgorge Posts: 2422 Joined: 12/29/2006 Status: offline They are both 6 oa. The one with the number you correctly qouted has a 52 (trademark C)41 on it. While the other, whose print is a little smaller has 56-23 in small print on the side. From watching your psts I assume 1952 and 1956, respectively. Now, What kind of bottle do yo call these. O.K. .... besides coke bottles. I see you use the terms hob, ACL etc. People around these parts say think the Rutland Coke is worth big bucks, I hear up to $85. I guess you all have dispelled that rumor for me. My 10 year old son was with me when I unearthed the first Rutland coke and, as with everything I own, he thinks he owns it. He is now 25 and told me if I ever sell it .... to get $85 dollars for it. I can't wait til he gets home so I can gloat. Thanks guys. It doesn't take much to humour me. Joel _____________________________ (in reply to bubbas dad) Post #: 10

RE: yard sale treasures - 2/18/2007 6:39:08 PM    epgorge Posts: 2422 Joined: 12/29/2006 Status: offline Thanks Spencer. The best part was it only cost pocket change and I wife paid for it out of her pocket. Now I have to clean them up and find a place for them. I need to start categorizing. I can't wait to start digging in the spring. Hey, do you think Frank has already explained his bucket cleaning routine on here and I can find it searching. Do you know where it might be.

RE: yard sale treasures - 2/18/2007 7:03:48 PM    bubbas dad Posts: 1373 Joined: 3/30/2005 From: South Carolina, USA Status: offline joel, the pat. d and patent 6oz are listed as common. the 1915 is listed as unknown, the 1923 is listed as scarce and the 6 1/2 oz patent is listed as rare. this comes from bill porters coke book which was written in 1995. things may have changed since then. i'm no expert on cokes but i believe there are very few hobble skirts worth $85. hope this helps. _____________________________ john the older i get, the smarter my father gets!

I never thought I would be happy that a bottle is less than thought. In this case I am ecstatic as this ends a long going argument with my son.
