im guessing the flavor bottle to be worth 5 -10, the dads is probably worth more! those throwaway bottles are gaining popularity, if you can get the cola bottle tumbled cheap go for it mike

Hi Rhona, Got one just like it but is does not have the CRASS on the base it has RICHMOND VA on the bottom. Do you know what the CRASS stands for? Thinks 3kings

Hi Rona, Nice one. Coke Cola used the square soda water bottle from late 1915 until they went to 10oz bottles or changed brands, the round style was used from 1924 until they went to 10oz bottles or changed brands. The measurements on their soda water bottles and hobble skirts were the same at all critical points so they could be used with the same bottling equipment. I included a pic of some I've dug up. The three on the left are from Frisco City, Al. The one on the right is from Pensacola, Fl. Some soda water bottles go for quite a lot of money. The Hygea Soda bottle { on the right } is quite rare and would go for $100 and up. Bottle diggers and collectors around here go nuts over broken ones. I've luckily dug 7 at one place. Frisco City soda water bottles go for $30, so you never know. All these were dug in Pensacola.

hi mike thanks for the inf. i have a tumbler now, i guess i want to know would it be worth more if i tumble it? nice bottles mike. hi 3kings,the crass i think is a subsidary of coke. i just found a acl crass bottle, dates 1944. on the back of the bottle it has "property of coca-cola bottling co, cambridge, ohio. i havn't try to clean it a lot as i might mess up the label. hi warren, thanks for all the information, looks like you found really good ones. thanks all, rhona ps pick of acl crass
