Brand new hutch bottle from @logan.the.collector
GEO Jones, Fonda N.Y. Hutchinson, (was) in mint condition. After spending almost a whole week in some USPS facility in Massachusetts (not within shipping route...), I opened the package to this!
Logan had it insured and was able to refund me...
Hello everyone,
The other day I decided to go to an antique store about 25 min away from me. Most antique shops in my area tend to rarely have coke bottles and when they do they're almost always overpriced. Guess I got lucky this time.
This is also the first store I come across that actually...
Hello everyone,
Today this local bottle came in the mail. Even though I technically live in McDonough GA, I still consider Conyers local as I live right on the border of the two towns.
This Coke bottle has the look of a traditional shoulder script straight side, but the lettering is...
Hello Everyone,
The other day I decided to buy some straight side cokes that come from closer to home. Since my town didn't make Coke bottles I consider basically anything from GA to be local.

I mostly have Coke contour bottles with a straight side and Hayes Bros hutch that...
Hello everyone,

The base has the embossed inscription: BOTTLING CO. JACKSONVILLE, FLA_ PROPERTY OF...
Hello everyone,
I just have some basic questions about bottle cleaning.
I recently bought some Coca cola contour bottles and they all had dirt. I still have to clean half of them.
I cleaned the inside by putting a cotton cloth on a gun cleaning rod. Then I rinsed it out a few times in the...
Hello everyone,
First I want to thank @logan.the.collector for helping me with my bottle collection so far. I have known him for many years as a friend and more recently he has helped me greatly to know the ins and outs of collecting. We even did a trade (coins for bottles) which really sparked...
