Helena may be a desirable bottle, take good care of all the Cokes like this.... This style from Helena Ga. brought $40, is yours from Ga or Ca ??

Sorry, it is Ga. not Ca. Bottle is still dirty.

Thanks for the info, I think I'm going to like researching and collecting these old bottles. I''ll probably start picking them up more at flea markets and garage sells and looking at them. I still have quite a few that i need to post and more to dig up. Any leads on bottle washing do's and don'ts?

Thanks, Marty

The cleaning and repairing forum is a great resource....

Welcome Marty. Keep scrounging and keep posting. As already said, straight sided Coke bottles are good.

Nice finds!

So regarding the 6 straight-sided cokes you found, are they all embossed with "Helena, Ga" or are there some from different towns?

It is possible that you could get lucky and find some super rare ones worth hundreds. Good luck digging and please post more pictures of your finds if you'd like!
