Are there fake straight sided Coke bottles?

[bottlenutboy]

they date between 1900 and 1915, tooled tops are generally phased out around 1910, so abm cokes are generally 1910-1915, and tooled tops are generally 1900-1910

company info, will narrow it down more, if you could find out when the salisbury nc plant opened that would close the gap some

In the one picture it looks like you can see a seam that goes through the crown, but that's a long skinny bubble. The seams stop before they reach the crown.

I gave $35 for the bottle a few days ago, I feel like I got a pretty good deal on it.

 

[bottlenutboy]

thats about the going rate for common cokes

 

[ShowMeStateBottles]

I just feel like with the condition it's in that I got a good deal.

I mean if it was tumbled clean, that had to almost cost the price that i gave for it, so I'm pretty happy about that.

 

[bottlenutboy]

you are correct, you did good, you didnt over pay at all, a good tumble costs between $15-$25

IF it was tumbled, it doesnt really look like it was, most times if a bottle is tumbled it still looks a little worn, or the embossing gets weaker and more rounded

 

[ShowMeStateBottles]

It has very bold embossing, and i can't find anything wrong with it at all.

Bottlenutboy,

I was going to tell you that I'm thinking about auctioning off some bottles in a few days, but before I do, I'm going to give you a list of the bottles and their condition and let you pick one out for making me a copy of the porter's Coca cola book.

I will send you a list later.

 

[bottlenutboy]

let me know when you send it, just in case it goes to my junk folder again

ill be getting on top of copying that porters book for you real soon[]

 

[ShowMeStateBottles]

I'll send you a list tomorrow, but I'll remind you after I send it.

I know that you like crown top bottles, but these are all Hutchinson bottles except one and it's an older blob top soda kind of like a squat soda bottle.

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

 

[bottlenutboy]

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

looking forward to it[]

Excellent buy and a very nice bottle. In that condition it would go a little higher. Possibly $45 to $50. There are several repops out there but they were put out by Coke for anniversaries and centennials/bi-centennial celebrations and have ACLs.
