A search in post-1900 soda bottles on Ebay will show you almost 50 Coca Cola and Pepsi Bottles that have recently sold for over $1000. I really don't trust those buy it now prices for getting accurate values but the increase in prices on all types of Coke and Pepsi bottles has been hard not to notice. It is one thing when people put crazy high prices on common-scarce bottles but it is another thing when they actually sell for those kind of prices. I wonder if all those high prices are actually from legitimate bidders?
This one stood out at the top of the list: $7000 Coca Cola paper label bottle
Really!?! It may be an extremely rare bottle with that paper label but it is pretty rough and there is no Coca Cola script embossing; it is just a flavor line bottle, in this case ginger ale. I am certainly not a Coca Cola expert nor do I know much about bottles from Maine but based on past experience with similar bottles, I would imagine it to have a real "value" of under $100. Am I way off or this actually a highly desirable bottle?
