Chero-Cola & Coca Cola

[Dean]

Hello Jamie,
I'm enclosing a picture of my Chero-Cola from Memphis, Tenn. It is a nice SCA color with usual embossing and This bottle never sold. I'm also enclosing a picture of one of Arkansas' imitators of Coke. It is Cola-Colda from Warren, Ark. Do you have any information on the Memphis Chero-Cola? Dean

Here is the Cola-Colda from Warren, Ark.

I am looking for a Cartersville, GA Chero-Cola if any one has one they might want to part with.

Hey Duane, if you take exit 290(?) the Rome exit off I-75 going toward Rome, there is an antiques mall on the left, not too far from the interstate. All the way in the back, on the left side of the building, there is an outside section. Right when you go in, on the left, there is a Cartersville Chero in a rack of bottles. A couple of cracks if I remember correctly. It was there on February 7...

T D, are you talking about Liz's antiques on Hwy. 41? If so I was in there today..Picked up an un opened Par T Pak Cola..I live in Cartersville and have not been able to find one any where around here..I've found a few Rome and Colombus bottles but not a Cartersville..The store I was in only had one. It was a 6 1/2 oz. block script Rome for $40 crazy dollars..They also had several ss coke but they were also in the $40 dollar range.There was one unopened Cartersville Christmas coke for $65 a little much for me..

Glass Man thanks for the info on the book..Haven't called yet but I will..I would appericate if you kept me in mind if you run across a Cartersville bottle..

WOULD GO THERE EVERY DAY ON MY BREAK.STILL HAVE A SMALL AMBER POISON I BOUGHT THERE FOR $10. WHAT FUN,BEATS EBAY ANYDAY! JAMIE

Hey Duane, Liz's sounds right, but I'm not sure. All I remember was that it was outside the regular building, under a roof connected to the main building. It seemed like it was very narrow...the bottle was in a bottle rack right when you entered the outside part. It's been since Feb. that I was there, so it may be gone. One other thing, the place was between a tattoo parlor and a motor sports place...

 

[Duane73]

Yep that's the place. Went back today and found the display you were speaking of..The bottle is now gone..I did find a Cartersville NU-Icy in good shape and several Cartersville hobbleskirts...Thanks for the heads up though...One wwill turn up somewhere...

I appreciate everyone's help with these bottles! I've had fun with the auctions. I'm only keeping a few that I like, doesn't matter what they are worth, I'm not sure what to do with the rest of them, it takes so much time just to photgraph them!! I'm thinking I might just have to box them all up and store them for a while longer.

I thank everyone for their help and knowledge!! Ya'll are great!
