it amazes me how widespread Coca-Cola has become we have a Coca-Cola factory in Kentucky and I have dug numerous Coca-Cola bottles by far my favorite is the circle Coke from Louisville Kentucky actually it's a arrow that goes around the embossing of Coca-Cola it's a brown Coke bottle and I never get tired of digging them. at one time i had 24 a whole case of them but I sold them all. I remember one time when I was digging a old privy it went 25 feet deep old brickline privy that day we dug around 12 of them good dig well one of them was in ment condition I mean there wasn't a scratch or a blemish on it beautiful honey amber long story short those brown Coke bottles are out there in abundance get out there and get you some happy bottle hunting also be careful if you dig those privyes they can be extremely dangerous and even be a tomb for your grave so be careful have fun always be alert looking around to all your surroundings see you guys

That's pretty weird to find a Coke bottle from Honolulu in Miami. That one definitely traveled pretty far before arriving there, and presumably not just by floating in the ocean the whole time. The Cuba one is more understandable. Like BottleEnthusiast says both will likely have date codes to tell you exactly how old they are, but both have to predate 1959 (the year that the communists gained power in Cuba and Hawaii gained statehood, ending the Territory of Hawaii).
