Stolen Celery Cola Bottle

[dismithny]

Thanks to an alert Atlanta collector the bottle stolen at the Atlanta Bottle Show last month was recovered at a local Atlanta flea market. The guy who had the bottle at his booth "had no idea how it ended up in his box."

I appreciate all of the concern from friends and fellow collectors. The response I've received since posting this last month reconfirms what I've always believed: the greatest thing about the bottle collecting hobby is the friends I've collected over the years.

Great news!!! Curious though, what was he asking? Was it still in as nice a shape?

The bottle was shown to my friend but no price mentioned. My friend recognized the bottle and told the guy he was taking it to return to the rightful owner.

That's good and no one met a horrible fate.Did the flea market people have a table at the show? Like to your right.
