Help w/ Hobbleskirt ID #2
Ok, thanks, I was under the impression that all bottles were supposed to have the city/state embossing after a certain point (1920 maybe?) but guess there were some sold without. BUT, I do have another thing to add to the original Hobbleskirt post. I found a second bottle (well, most of a...- Ivybriana

Help w/ Hobbleskirt ID #2
Greetings y’all! So awhile back I posted about a Coke bottle I had found here in New Orleans… I encourage you to check out the post if you haven’t seen it, it was quite the epic discussion. So I have come across another bottle—from the same lot in fact—that has been puzzling me. Looking back on...- Ivybriana

mystery coin? plz help!
[Not sure if this should go in this forum or the other collectables, but starting here...] My bf and I are experienced diggers, so rarely come across things that leave us totally stumped, but here's one. Anyone have any ideas? This came from a bottle/trash dump site we have been digging off and...- Ivybriana

NOLA Amber Coke
Found this one the other day. While I am pretty knowledgeable about the hobbleskirts (thanks SODAPOPBOB and hemihampton!!) I know very little about earlier Coke bottles. This one looks to be in pretty good shape. Any info (year? worth? Anything unique to look out for?) would be appreciated.- Ivybriana

Cobalt Poison Bottle ID
Dug this a few weeks ago...it's blue, it's got a skull and crossbones, so it's cool to me already--but wondering if anyone can tell me anything about it? -

Thanks mingoman64! I also love this entire thing, I have learned way more about Coke bottle collecting than I ever guessed I would know....but it still drives me nuts that after ALL of this the conclusion is.....nothing, no one knows.- Ivybriana

So the started actually producing and selling the bottles in Nov 2015? That’s what it says here. So then theoretically....a year of Root only manufacturing would end in Nov 2016...which isn’t the end of the year....(you can see where I’m going with this, right???!)- Ivybriana

Help with Hobbleskirt ID
Hey Bob, I would also consider that a pretty reliable source, so I'm not doubting you. But I do have a few questions*.... a) why have a date code for a year that no bottles were made? The Graham Glass P/Q/R/S date coding system seems to be pretty universally accepted as I have seen it...- Ivybriana

Pricing for the Hobbleskirts is crazy, it’s all over the map. I’m curious to know what mine might sell for too, despite the damage. And as you said, are there others there? If only bottles could talk, would love to know how it ended up a thousand miles away in New Orleans.- Ivybriana

Coca-Cola's website says this (link to full article below/Italics mine): "In early 1916, a committee composed of bottlers and Company officials met to choose the bottle design. The Root version was the clear winner and The Coca-Cola Company and the Root Glass Company entered an agreement to...- Ivybriana
