ya its hard for me to find any bottle info for the south west minnesota area... down in spirit lake iowa (20 min away) there is a coke bottling plant I was thinking about taking it there for some info. And ya know even if the bottle is worth 1 dollar its all good cuz i had a blast finding it and pure profit ya know...heh but i think i will hold on to all my bottles for a while i am kinda attatched to them lol..

the one bikegoon posted is one of the repros from the 80's you can tell by the embossed letter text and the embossed line that connects ites and states, the original would have larger text and no line on the basem you can take a pic and repost in the soda forum many coke collectors there

yeah its real ! sweet, i kinda figured since i found it deep in the dirt by an old homesite.. heh i actually just bought a repo tho from san diago, also if you hold the two together it looks like the repo is a bit more blue too...

This one is a re-production .. the bottom script indicated it..( arched lined connecting the city-state on both sides , smaller font )

The town I live in I have seen many 23's up...but the 1915s are rare..only had one and it was in rough shape...we have no straight side cokes...but do have a rare straight side pepsi...I guess we could not compete with the larger town next to us that have lots od ss.JAMIE

 

[aj0446]

first thing i looked for and no it is in big letters with no circle.. I am 98% sure it is not a repo.

Just picked these out of a local dump. The older one (larger block letters) was from a layer that dated 1940s-1950s. The other ones from a layer no newer then mid 1970s when they closed the dump.
