Ruston Bottling Works Coca Cola

Bass Assassin · Jun 15, 2013

New to this site and i think i goofed up and posted this inquiry in the wrong forum earlier today. So, here it goes again. In the recent past my son went along with me on a bottle dig and he found a straight-side cola slug plate embossed "Ruston Steam Bottling Works" Ruston,La. He was soon broken-hearted when he the neck to be broken off. So, my question is does anyone have one of these bottles or know someone who does? I might be interested in purchasing one. Also, any idea as to the value of this bottle?

Did that bottle have COCA COLA embossed? If so, was it in script or block letters? If you have a picture of the broken bottle that would be even better.

Hey Fishktller,

Welcome to this place.

Ditto but with an i. I don't believe in fishing for sport. If you catch 'um, kill and eat them. Bass are good food. Nice Coke too. [
