The Cuero bottle was put out in 1972 as a commemorative bottle. They came with contents and a cap simply marked CREAM SODA. Cuero Texas had a Coca Cola Bottling plant and I think they were bottled there but there is no indication on the bottle. They must have made thousands of them and nobody ever threw one away, because I find lots of them around here. Usually unopened because I seem to remember the cream soda didn't taste too good. The caps are usually rusted.
I probably shouldn't run my bottle down but they are common in this part of Texas.
A lot of people ask me what they are worth because, of course, they have one at home. I tell them I pay 25 cents for them. Then they say "But what if they still have the soda?" I tell them I only pay a dime then because I have to empty and clean them. They don't like my answer.
Glad you liked the bottles you got from me.
Jay

After my rant about how common the Turkey bottles are, TJSJHART sent me a link that lists the bottle at $20. - $25. I'll mention that next time I list them on ebay.
