Buccheit's Bottling Works Straight Sided Coke

[octotat]

I recently found a straight sided brown Coke (actually slightly bowling pin shaped), with the following inscription "Buchheit's Bottling Works, Decature Ala" on it. I found an identical bottle on the web that sold at an ebay auction for $799, but was wondering why such a high value. Any information would be appreciated.

Are the words Coca cola in script or block letters? If in either it is a very rare and almost impossable bottle to get at the moment. If you are going to sell it I would suggest you clean it very well and sell it soon. List it as very rare and hard to get. I would love to see a picture.

It's in cursive script, along the bottom. It's in pretty good shape, a bit pitted but no chips in the anywhere. There is a Coca Cola bottle show in Chattanooga on July 22nd. I was going to try to sell it there, or at least get a decent appraisal. I'll try to get a picture of it tonight and post tomorrow.

Correction, it has cursive script along the shoulders on front and back of bottle. Still working on getting a digital photo.

chattanooga is a common town in amber, the "buccheit's bottling works" slug plate makes it so rare and valuable

Hey Matt, There are no ss Cokes listed for New Jersey. Just in cause you missed it "NO SS COKES". You have an unlisted and possibly a never before seen Coke so the value is pretty much what ever you say it is with in reason. I sure would like to see a pic of it. Don't let it go if you like to collect rare bottles but keep in mind that tomorrow some jake may find a but load of them and bottom out the price.
