Chepo Soda Bottling Co.

I have a bottle that is about 6 or 7 oz, clear,colorless, thick glass with a pineapple type pattern with the words Soda Water. The bottom of the bottle says Chepo Soda Bottling Co. Andalusia, Alabama. Has anyone ever heard of this company? Is this a rare or valuable bottle?

I believe it actually says "Chero Cola..." similar to the one shown here:

Depending on the city, these can be worth anywhere from $5 - $50 the way I understand it. Not sure if Andalusia is a common city or not.

Thank you so much! Yes, that is the bottle. Looking more closely, with a magnifier, it is indeed Chero. I grew up in south Alabama and my relatives lived in Andalusia. That is how I obtained the bottle. It was found in an old box of miscellaneous items and I thought it was rather interesting. What would you recommend as a venue for selling it? E-bay, Craigslist, or some other method?

I have never sold any bottles, only given them as gifts or traded. There are many others who sell on numerous venues. Perhaps they can give you a better idea where the best money is.
