Recently I went out on a nice creek walk not expecting to find very much. The first sandbar I get onto held only the fragments of a broken Nehi and some other misc. shards. The second sandbar was nothing but rocks and sand. But the third, had to be the best. Laying on its side was this clear Burlington, NC coke! Im not really sure how rare or valuable this town is, and its pretty rough, but nonetheless a fantastic find!
Cheers!

No matter what town is on it I always get joy out of digging up a hobbleskirt coke bottle it gets my heart pumping idk why I just really like them. I find lots of Nehi sodas and Pepsi bottles from 50's and I like them but not like I love the coke bottles !

I really like the embossed Nehis! Wish I could find them!

Not meaning to hijack here, but thought I'd throw on a couple of clear hobbleskirts I found, a Vienna, Ga. '15 and an Americus, Ga. '23. I don't know if they're all that rare or if I just got lucky.
