    Hyman Kirsch started business with a partner named Herfel around 1910 bottling a number of flavors. By the 1920's Kirsch was one of the largest New York City bottlers.

    Bottle with Coca-Cola in script on both shoulders and the bottom is typically called a "shoulder script." They are the newest of the straight sides - used just before the hobbleskirts. Pat is right on the money with the value.

    Amber Anchor-Hocking Coke bottle.

    Back in the seventies workers at Oak Ridge would take Coke bottles to work in their lunch boxes and have them irradiated to turn amber. These were all over the flea markets for years. I've been told the bottles retain unsafe levels of radiation.

    Koca Nola Bottle

    The original post is in What is it? I posted the link here because this soda bottle thread may be of interest to soda bottle collectors. If I broke the "rules" by posting a soda related link in the "Sodas - Embossed , Paper Label and ACLs" then I apologize and will take my place in the corner.
