Well, the time as come. I have owned this bottle for nearly 11 years, and the time has come to say goodbye. The bottle is a 1944 D-Pat Coke from Taft, Calif.
For the serious Coca-Cola collector, I was once told that there were only about 125 of these known to exist, and that made it rare as...
Well folks, I am moving very soon. Downsized most of my collection.

The collection...
Oh crud, that bottle was just sitting outside in a junk pile of scratched up bottles. He was going to research it himself, but if I offer cold hard cash, I'm sure he'll bite. He has WAY too much stuff!
Trouble is, I can't get back there until the first weekend of September at the earliest. I...
