Almost forgot buying fromthe link I put in the last post will save you a couple bucks, it's his supplier! I found that out to late. They both live in the same town I live in ( go figure)

It may seem like alot to buy those off of e-bay, but I know the guy who sells those and it's a good deal for what your getting. I have bought a set from him have had them for about 2 years, they are still alive. My favorite one is the biggest black one, I cut the loop off of the end and stick it...
RE: Recent additions to the embossed family!!
As for the value, damage does not always affect the value on a super rare bottle. Sure a mint bottle is always worth a heck of alot more than a broken one, but if it's rare, it's rare. Your bottle is pretty scarce, and I haven't seen one that isn't...
Considering the picture is so small I can't say much, ut my opinion is the Moticello bottle is gonna be the best. Since I don't know much about the other two towns my opinion could be wrong. I live in Tallahassee, Fl. which is only about 30 miles or so from Moticello, and as a local collector...
$35 was a pretty good buy, that bottle usually brings good money in good shape, and as far as if there was a true purple coke bottle I would say no. But was it possible I say sure why not.

I am a part time Hoosier, I go back and forth between Fort Wayne and Tallahassee, Fla. so I'll shoot you a line the next time I'm passing through.

I will be willing to bet it's a ten-pen with an oval slug plate on the shoulder. If it is and I have no idea why, but at least 9 out of 10 of this particular bottle from Cordele is nuked. Which for me is a waste because they are good bottles.
And as far whether or not it hurts the glass I...
RE: Most Wanted
Well for me there are 2 bottles that are at the top of my list. The first is one I recently posted about it is a Barq's bottle from Columbus, Ga., but the kicker is that it's the shape of a generic pinched waste milk bottle. The second is definitely a 1915 Coke from Cairo, Ga. I...
I am sure it is a Barq's, and it's from Columbus, Ga. It's one of those that will throw you for a loop, because it looks like any run of the mill milk bottle.
Well I too have had a design going on a tumbler based off of a treadmill. It has all you need for a basic tumbler, you may have to change a pulley or two to get the results you want. So now it's out, I have kept this in for weeks now trying to find an el-cheap-o treadmill to actually put this...
I agree, the Georgia Crown Top Soda book is about the best there is for Georgia Soda's. Generally it comes with a pricing guide to help with rough estimates on the value of crown tops.

Yup! Ken and Carl Barnett wrote the book, both are really great guys to know in the bottle world. I just saw them both at a local bottle show this past weekend and Ken had a few bottles for sale he had repaired and if he would not have told me himself they had been repaired I would have never known.
