Let me ask you punk….do you feel lucky????

These are kind of cool bottles. Plus they are bringing good money on ebay lately ……

The ones with 6 cents on them are kind of scarce. Just ask Pat and Eric. Nichol Kola was a play on the words " Nickel Cola". THey were 5 cents for 12 ounces and most of them say 5 cents on the front.

So a fellow wants to sell me this one:

$16 plus $8 to ship. So for $24 do you think it’s worth the gamble? Is that just dirt, or is it fade? What would you do?

It's definitely faded, but also dusty. I'd throw $10 at it tops.

The caked on mud at the bottom makes me think it may just be covered in a layer of dirt. But The NEHi bottle next to it makes me think it's probably faded. Like TJ said I'll never know until it's cleaned. I asked the seller to run a little soap water over the label and send me a pic. I'll keep you guys posted.

Some fading, some dirt, some camera flash.

$24..................................that's about right.

I've seen five or six of those Nichol Colas from Gaffney over the years, and they have all went for $100.00 +. Why, I have no idea.

If you don't want it Matt, let Henry aka tomsc know about it.
