    Looking for Cheros

    Dennis is correct, and I think the bottle had a backwards "S" in DAWSON.

    Looking for Cheros

    Dawson was the first franchised bottler of Chero-Cola outside of Columbus, GA. You should be able to locate a "Horseshoe" script, a "straightline" script, and a block letter style of both the 7oz. and 6.5 oz variety, as well as the "swirl" style from Dawson, if they were open for business long...

    Looking to Dig a Coca Cola Site

    Oh yes, kept one each of the best examples and sold/ traded the others/ duplicates. Four of the Alabama Hutchinsons were "unlisted" up until that point. It was great fun. Probably not to be repeated....

    Looking to Dig a Coca Cola Site

    Imagine this: A 40 x 40 brick building. A crawl space of 2 to 3 feet under a wooden floor. The year is 1894 and a soda bottling plant exists inside the building. Now, what is the one thing that a bottling plant of that era will always have? Answer = A wet floor, mainly from washing...

    quality brand soda water bottle, filled with coke and coca-cola cap

    Yes sir, 126 cases. 3 pallets @ 6 cs. per layer stacked 7 layers high. All in the yellow wooden Coke crates. Got some great bottles out of that place. 6 cases of ACL "Simba" in MINT shape. A full case of the 1936 "pyramid" RC's in like new condition, and a case of double dot red, white, and...

    quality brand soda water bottle, filled with coke and coca-cola cap

    Back in the late 1980's I was "Operations Manager" (fancy title for warehouse manager, inventory taker, and truck loader when no one one shows up for work) of the old Greenville, SC Coke Plant on Buncombe St. next door to the library. The plant was owned by Affiliated Coca-Cola of Asheville, NC...

    Crazy ebay post.

    I toured the Dublin plant in the Spring of 2009. These are sold in the gift shop (and everywhere else in town). I bought a six pack and gave it to a fellow collector in Alabama. Guess I should have charged him a deposit for those one way bottles. Looks like more "Sheikh Bait" to me....

    Easley SC Chero-Cola

    I lived in Easley from 1989 until 2002. I was offered an Easley Chero-Cola in the early 1990's for $100. I declined. I have lived in many small towns all over the country. Chero-Cola was EVERYWHERE in the 1910's to 1920's. The value of a small town bottle is relative to passion that a...

    "The Sheikh" can go intercourse himself.

    This elusive spendthrift has some otherwise good collectors and devoted hobbyists looking like that group of spoiled brats from "Willie Wonka And The Chocolate Factory". It's more than just a little disturbing to see how the unsavory characteristics of human nature reveal themselves in the...

    Oakland Bottle

    Call me crazy, but what I see is "Oakland C.S. Works", meaning carbonated soda works. Anybody agree? That's not a "B" in my eyes....

    Mystery Find

    This is the remains of a padlock. The ornate portion that catches your eye swivels to the side on a pin to reveal a key hole. Probably too corroded to swivel. The ornate part is copper or brass and survived better than the iron.

    A BOY DESTROYING TRADE

    The same thing could have been said of most every industry in America at that time. Must have been written by someone who had an axe to grind....

    Harry Dick bottle....what a name

    I suppose Gay-Ola would be a tough sell in certain markets today as well....

    List of Chero bottles?

    I may be mistaken, but I think Celerycola wrote a booklet on Alabama Chero-Colas, listing all the known Alabama bottlers as of a few years ago. I have 3 different Eufaula's, an Ozark, Brundidge, Tuskegee, Hurtsboro, etc. & some different Dothan's, etc. etc. from the southeast corner of the state.
