Buccheit Bottling Works Straight Sided Coke

I've mentioned finding this bottle while diving in a previous post, but failed to get a photo. I'm planning on auctioning this bottle off soon. If anyone on this forum would like to make an offer prior to the auction, I'd be very happy to cut quite a nice deal to move it (I like finding, not collecting!)

It is listed as rare so it is a good bottle and the condition look fair too.

Anyone interested in this rare bottle should check out the ebay auction. Wish me luck!

The only book I have handy is Petretti's Coca-Cola Collectibles Price Guide (1997) and it's listed on page 346 on the top row for $285 with dates of use 1905-1916. (Unfortunately, my newer books are also at my house in Tenn., with my bottles.) I am sure whatever price it would have brought in 1997 would be a bargain compared to now.

Of course, a guide is just that - a guide. But it's nice to see a bottle I'm looking for listed in something....

Good luck! Let me (us) know what it ends up going for.
