Hello everyone,
Today this local bottle came in the mail. Even though I technically live in McDonough GA, I still consider Conyers local as I live right on the border of the two towns.
This Coke bottle has the look of a traditional shoulder script straight side, but the lettering is completely different to what you'd normally see. That is because it was manufactured by CBC Co, a bottle-making company contracted to make bottles for Coca-Cola; that still exists today.
Bottles with this script seem to have been made throughout central-northern Georgia, with Jesup, Marietta, Conyers, and likely more town varieties existing. CBC was founded in 1910, leaving it safe to assume that these bottles were manufactured from the early-mid 1910's.
The one I have is near mint-state, with only a couple of fleabites and free of case wear. However there does seem to be a fair amount of sickness inside the bottle.
I am happy to own a local Coke bottle, since none were made in McDonough (that I know of). I have many good memories in Conyers.
