I saw that earlier today, I was going to shoot you a link but thought it was too expensive to be a feasible option.

When they were first digging these back in the sixties they were selling for five bucks apiece at the dump.

I was just down in Alabama all last week, Found some Privies down there but to hot & to much Foliage to dig. Sure would like to dig one of those while down there. LEON.

I dug three Birmingham's and a Talladega when I lived there. Also had the Chattanooga and the Bessemer which cost me $25 each in great condition.

Probably why they're so rare today [8D]

That is a nice scripted Coke hutch but too deep for my pockets!

I wouldn't say rare since I see them for sale at shows. One guy had over twenty at one time that he dug himself.

Tuskegee, Brunswick about as easy to find as the Chattanooga and Birmingham since a bunch were found. Bessemer and Jasper a bit harder. Anniston, Gadsden, and Talladega are pretty tough. You may have to sell your soul to get an Atlanta.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that more bottles are sold on ebay instead of bottle shows and private sales. You sure can't judge rarity from ebay listings where EVERYTHING is "rare."

Any idea where he dug them? That's impressive!
