The Chero-Cola bottle is marked Dalton, Ga, The coke is Cartersville, Ga I tried looking online last night and found some info on the Chero bottle and places it was manufactured but no mention of Dalton.

CC6pack, no, can't see any cracks on that cartersville bottle, but it does look that way in the picture. I ran to get the bottle to double check. Must be something in the backround! Cartersville is a lot bigger town then Dalton so it makes sense there are a lot of them out there. Until the mid 50's, Dalton was a little hole in the wall town, now they say we have a "Metro" area, woo hoo, we're in the big time now!

It is unlisted and I would hang on to it. Most Chero Cola Company bottles are not worth very much but if it is unknown it could be worth $20 and up to a Chero collector.

Hey 20 bucks is big money for a Chero Cola Bottle. I know where there is a factory foundation full of them. Dug out about a thousand of them to get 2 or 3 keepers and I didn't even dent the load. Hard work busting the slab but underneath there is white sand and bottles. It was the Royal Crown Bottling Co.

Hey guys
Thanks again! My list is getting longer. I hope to finish off all the soda's soon. $20 is $20 for something that was sitting on a shelf for 20+ years collecting dust and spider webs.

Capsoda..............wow...............all that digging.............sounds a lot like mining for gold! As close I have gotten is digging through these old dirty boxes and trying to avoid the spiders. [:)]

Cheers
