1923 Coke large store display bottle

[lblackvelvet]

Hello , I received a call from a friend who has a 1923 Coca-Cola bottle about 20'' tall & embossed from Va. I have no pictures yet to show. I was wondering what price range I should offer him if in excellent condition ? I have not personally ever seen one in person and not sure I would buy it to keep or to sell it. Thanks for any ideas. Kevin....

Personally I wouldn't pay more than $20-25 for one Kev unless I was a hoobleskirt Coke collector

Thanks to both of you !!! I understand that there were copies made of these bottles, Which the ones Jim linked on to look like copies ? At least to me, They didn't show a bottom picture of either bottle. Soon as I get a picture of the bottle in question I will post it. The seller is telling me it is not a copy, been there done that before!!! Thanks again for all the help I receive from all in here. Kevin...

looks like they selling for about 50 to 75 on e-bay some got them priced at a couple hundred but they had bidders so.....

WOW, Quite a difference in price range there guys. If the bottles Jim linked to here were copies would that account for the lower prices ? Or like Jim and "Z" say they are only worth 50.00 to 100.00 ? I also called a friend in Roanoke that has sold 2 original bottles for 300.00 each. This can get confusing !!! I think I will pass on this bottle unless someone in here is interested and they PM me and I will make offer for them and all they have to do is pay shipping cost over there offer if accepted. Thanks all for the information. Kevin...
