Hutchinson & Straight Side Coca-Cola

Antiques214 · Feb 4, 2021

A few years ago I was walking a local creek and I found these two bottles, both bottled by the same local company called Riviere Mineral Company in Tyler, Tx. If you have any info I would love to know some more about them and how much they may be worth.

As you can see, this hutch is in pretty good condition considering I pulled it out of a creek (in one of the rockier spots mind you).

Straight-Side Coca-Cola

This straight-side Coca-Cola was bottled by the same company. It has shoulder embossing reading "Coca-Cola" and underneath "Trademark Registered". The lip is broken off and I would like to know whether or not it is worth having fixed and where I could get that done.

I am soon going to start trying to find where these beauties came from because I'm sure there's a dumpsite somewhere nearby. I look forward to hearing from you guys.

Cool Texas bottles! I've seen the hutch soda but I think they are fairly scarce. Can't say I've seen the Coca-Cola; the slug crowns without Coca Cola on the shoulder are pretty common.

Hi- could I buy those bottles? My name is Tyler Riviere Rhoades. My grandma was a Riviere and I’m named after Tyler, TX where she grew up. She was the 1947 Rose Queen. We’ve been searching for more Riviere bottles!

Nice part of Texas. I used to spend time at my brother's place further south around College Station. I loved exploring Texas, even West Texas down by the border (Big Bend National Park).

I really really appreciate your interest in these bottles but they are currently the prize of my collection. If I ever happen upon duplicates I would be happy to sell them to you.

That Coke bottle was only made for a few years. The bottle can be worth anywhere from a few hundred to a couple thousand. Oh....do NOT try to clean it up. That will bring the value down dramatically! Good luck.
