I dug this one a few months ago. If it was in good condition it would be an exceptional bottle. The last one on ebay went for about $200!

Yes, the 1915 Providence hobbleskirt is very rare. The 1925s are fairly common, and the newer ones are everywhere. I have only seen two 1915s in the last 15 years. There is also a 1915 hobbleskirt from Woonsocket, RI which is also very rare.

Cool, there is a Christmas style coke form Elko, Nevada (maybe it was Ely?) that was priced at $38,000 at the Reno bottle show.

Even if that was the only one known to exist would even be worth 1/4 that price?

That's probably why it didn't sell. I think he had it as more of a display but if someone offered him crazy money he would take it.hemihampton said:

Yeah, $38k is a joke, if it was the only one known to exist, it would go for much closer to $380 on ebay. Christmas Cokes just don't have the age and demand to have any kind of significant value yet. Even for 1915 Cokes, the rare ones go for $50-300 on average.

I know Jim! Even though mine is the $2 example, I'm happy to have it as a placeholder.
