Coca Cola bottles from Lowell, Mass.

[Ginnyb]

I have two hobble skirt bottles. One has the numbers 55-75, the other has numbers that look like 63-27 (the 27 is clear). Neither have a patent number. Both have Lowell Mass on the base with an L in the middle. I would love to know the age and value of these bottles found in the Pawtucket Canal in Lowell!

I'd like to see some pictures, but based upon the information you provided I would say one was made in 1955 and the other 1963. Probably worth between 5-20 dollars.

First photo is the 55-75; second is 62-27. If they loaded in order!

 

[Step Back In Time]

Yes, the first one is definitely 1955 and the second is 1962. The 75 and 27 are mould numbers. The L on the bottom would be the Maker's Mark for the Latchford Glass Company.

Value in my opinion would be $1.00 to $5.00.

Yeah, in the U.S the prices are a little different than they are here in Canada. 5-10 dollars for us.

20 dollars is on the high side now that I can see them.

most US Patent Coke Bottles seem to get anywhere from $1.00 to $5.00 in US unless some rare oddball variation. just my opinion. The older the better & usually the more value. Leon.
