Straight-sided coca cola bottle? Any value?

So I stopped by this antique shop today and noticed they has a straight sided coca cola bottle in the case. This is the first time I had seen one in person. They were asking $65 for it... The Coca-Cola lettering was on the top of the bottom just below the lip. Is this worth anything...

Ah thanks for the info guys. The bottle itself is pretty beat up, that is true. I don't plan to sell it, I just like to know if I paid the right price for it. It's got the "bottle sickness" Here are some close ups on the variations if ya guys are interested

How do you find old bottles in creeks and rivers?

How exactly do you probe a spot in the ground, do you just take a pitchfork and poke it into the ground hoping to hit bottles? Thanks guys, this info helps! Also, I won't go into the water without proper equipment, I appreciate the concern!

Ah, thanks. When it comes to buying I only tend to pick up the ones I like. I looked for hutches and pontils, but no luck. I will keep an eye out however.

Ok that's good, that's about what I payed for it. I bought it to add to my collection. Thanks! Also, the store is littered with vintage soda bottles, and many other bottles from the late 1800s-early 1900s. Any particular brands of soda bottles I should look out for, or even a specific...

I picked this up in an antique store today because I liked its design. Does anyone have any information of its exact date or what was in it? If it has any value let me know.
