Franklin Mineral Springs Lithia Water Bottle, Paper Label, Hand Blown, Oneida NY

Got it at a yard sale this morning. I did several google searches for it, but turned up little. No pics of this bottle either. All the bottles I saw were either modern or the old ones were embossed. I think it's well before 1900.Thoughts?

LIST OF OVER 300 COCA COLA IMITATORS AS OF 1919

Some of the names of these beverages crack me up! Koke Cola? Cola Coke? Geez, no wonder they got sued.However, the real winner is Afri Cola. Really? Afri Cola? Wow. I can't believe that a militant rapper hasn't thought of this product.

Identifying a 1957 to 1959 Coca Cola Bottle, no city info on bottom, just letter "L".

I think it's a 1957 to 1959 bottle. Raised letters on the bottle state:"REG U.S. PAT OFF", "CONTENTS 6 1/2 OZS" also, lower on the bottle are the numbers "58-16".On the bottom there is nothing but the letter "L". Is this a 1957 to 1959 bottle? Coca Cola script painted on both sides. No "COKE" on...

Odd Christo Cola Bottle from Gastonia NC, not the Onion shaped.

I took more photos and put it on ebay. We'll see what happens. If it doesn't sell, I might keep it. It's nice to have a bottle of a short lived product from so long ago, but I am mostly into coke bottles.Thanks to all who contributed information!

Thanks for the warning!!!!!! I am new to this even though I've casually collected bottles for years. If I see something that looks cool at a yard sale and the seller isn't asking a ton, I usually buy it. I didn't know people were faking the color of coke bottles.

Odd Christo Cola Bottle from Gastonia NC, not the Onion shaped.

Thanks 2Find4Me, I appreciate all the info. Looks like there are many variants out there. Still, mine with the logo at the base seems rarer than the others. Maybe wishful thinking, but I might get some good coin for it! If I get enough for it, I'd love to buy an old hutch coca cola bottle or...

Odd Christo Cola Bottle from Gastonia NC, not the Onion shaped.

Thanks for all the info SodaPopBob. Looks like I've got a rare one. There are at least three different styles of Christo Cola bottles. The onion, the straight with "Christo Cola" at an angle near the top and mine that has "Christo Cola" at the bottom. I have seen no pictures online that look...

First post here! Anyway, I have searched Google images and I can't find this one. I dug this bottle up a few years ago in Gastonia. It's an old one, lots of bubbles in the glass. The number 35 is doubled on the bottom. It says "This Bottle Not To Be Sold", "Good For You", "Registered" and...
