I went to the flea market yesterday for the last time in 2015, and I picked up three new additions to my collection. I think I did pretty well so I figured I'd post them here to see what you guys think. If anyone knows anything about these I'd love to hear more about them! First up is a Parfay soda from Thomasville, GA. It's got some staining, which I usually don't like but on this bottle I think it actually adds to it a little bit. The patina is lovely from the staining! The circle slug plate is embossed Georgia / Parfay (in script) / Co. / Thomasville, GA.

My next find is a quart milk bottle from Georgia. I usually don't buy milks, but this one was pretty cheap ($12) and it's from the small town of Warm Springs, GA so I decided to pick it up. I haven't been able to find anything on this online at all, anyone know anything about this one? I think it might be a rare one. The slug plate is embossed Barnes Bros. / Dairy / Warm Springs, Georgia. It's in near mint condition.

My third and favorite bottle of the three is this huge (27 oz) Click Cola bottle from Brooklyn. It's a nice blue aqua, almost ice blue color with an early crown top and it has a ring neck. It's embossed Click Cola (in script) / Bottling Co. / 142 King St. / Brooklyn, / N.Y. / Registered. I'm kinda trying to start a little collection of these Coke copycat bottles, so I'm pleased to add this one to my collection. Thanks for any responses and enjoy!

Those are great! I head up to Thomasville in the summer to visit family, and would love to dig one of those Parfay soda! If you need a Alabama or TN Coke copycat, PM me.

Very nice copy cats, those are always my favorite. I pick up most milks I see as you never know which ones go for big bucks.

Thank you all for the comments! CreekWalker, I'll send you a PM about those copycats you mentioned sometime.

Not trying to derail this, but check out this copy-cat I saw this week. Too bad it was only half a bottle.
