the Cuba bottle is a good one if there isn't any chips,cracks or fleabites an it is very clean..if memory is right it is a 30.00 + bottle..

I agree with Diggin Doc. Straight sided Cokes outside of the southeastern US are pretty rare. I have been collecting bottles from Kansas City for a very long time and finally had to break down and buy my two SS cokes from Ebay as I have never seen one at an antique shop, flea market or estate sale here. Expect to spend between $25 to $100 per shot. I would guess that the farther you got from Atlanta the rarer the bottle.
Coke collectors probably have list of when bottling companies opened in each state. Good hunting and don't forget to show the pictures to us covetous folk.
