Help with rarity of 2 christmas cokes

ACLbottles · Jun 1, 2014

I picked these up at a flea market yesterday really cheap, and I was wondering if anyone with Porter's Coke book could tell me the rarity of each. Both are Christmas cokes, and the left is from Hammond, LA, and the right is from Dallas, Tex. Thanks. [attachment=IMG_1444.JPG] [attachment=IMG_1442.JPG]

I realize and appreciate collecting them but I have a question. Do collectors of those stack them on the sides, bottom out? I can't imagine having thousands of coke bottles that all look identical sitting on shelves upright, or the room for them for that matter.[8|]Seriously, I'm asking, not trying to offend anyone.

I don't know, I've seen some collections with the hobbleskirts in racks with the bottoms out, but I guess that just depends on the collector's preference. I don't collect them, I just got these because they were cheap and I didn't have one.

the Hammond is listed as scarce and the Dallas has a blank, which I believe means they're plenty of them...

Alright, thanks. I was pretty sure the Dallas one wouldn't be that hard to find, but I had to ask anyway.

I really like those little cokes. I keep all the embossed hobble skirts I find...
