Hello guys. I have a straight sided Coca Cola bottle from Kankakee, Illinois that is filled and still has the sealed cap on top. The cap says Coca Cola, Paris, Illinois. The base says "ROOT" on it. It's a script logo that says "Coca Cola, Kankakee Bottling Works" It's from Kankakee, Illinois. Is this a genuine filled Coca Cola bottle? How old is it (what year estimate)? How rare is this? Is it worth a lot? Are these hard to find? I've posted some pictures of it below. Thanks guys!

How old is it (year/date)? How rare is Scarce+? I've never read the Porter book. Thanks

I'm going to guess dates around 1900-1917? Scarce + mean's 100 to 150 known to exist?
