Bob,
Some good info there! Thank you. I actually found one of those same Naylon bottles on the same job that the Coke came from, but unfortunately the top was snapped off, I cut it into a drinking glass though and gave it to my daughter. I took a better pic of the Coke bottom, if the mold had...
Bob,
I'm from New Orleans, but I live in Pueblo now and found the bottle here. I have some New Orleans bottles but they're all Christmas Cokes.... Denver makes sense to me, I've been looking for some industrial history of Pueblo I haven't found any mention of a glassworks here and I would assume...
I'm not entirely sure, I know they were a bottler of sodas and mineral water, and that they sold glassware to bars and restaurants, I haven't really done much research on them yet and what I have found was pretty limited information so I honestly don't know if they made the glass or contracted...
yeah there's definitely no makers mark, there was a bottling works here that was started in the late 1890's by a guy named N. Naylon. I know they made hutches and crown top sodas, and it may be that they made the local cokes, but it will take some research to find out.
As for value, maybe I'll...
if I had to guess I'd say it's about a 9 as is, there are a couple little nicks on the embossed lettering on one side that would probably be less visible with a good cleaning, the other side is perfect and all the embossing is strong and clear. no major chips or scratches, and barely any wear...
Well I know rare doesn't necessarily mean valuable in every case, and I have no plans to part with it, (unless the value is really up there) but out of curiosity what do y'all think a bottle like this would retail for?
That's strange, I would assume the city only bottles are slightly earlier maybe? I can't think of why that would be though. There's another local Coke I've seen that is embossed "DENVER-PUEBLO" as well, I've only seen it online though.
I found this 1915 Coke on a construction site in downtown Pueblo a couple years ago. So far I haven't been able to find another like it and was wondering if anyone had. I can't imagine it's the only one in existence. It's embossed "PUEBLO" on the bottom, I've seen others with "PUEBLO COLO" but...
