coca cola question

[wedigdixie]

Hey guys is there a book for most of all coke bottle prices and rareity, like the ayers book for pepsi. 8I have heard some mention a "portner's" book? Any help would be appreciated.

Bill Porter's checklist is the one most often referred to for rarity and values. But it mainy focues on the 1915-1917 hobbleskirts and a few straight-sided bottles. I have a copy and highly recommend it. Here's Bill's public email address if you would like to make an inquiry or order a copy.

Bill's book does not include pictures - for that I recomment Allan Petretti's 648 page book which is available at most book stores like Barne's & Noble for about $50

Good luck

Bob

I believe Bill is asking $15 or $20 these days

For pricing hobble skirt Coke bottles you probably need Porter's book. The Third Edition is out now and I think he charges $20 for it. It has every known town listed that had a Coca Cola bottling plant and rarity ratings for each of the different style embossed bottles from straight side up to 6 1/2 ounce hobbleskirts. There is chart for pricing each bottle based on rarity and condition. It has been very helpful to me for finding out which bottles are rare or common.

Ya know it would be nice if someone actually did a book for Coca-Cola like Ayers did for Pepsi. Where you had photos of every bottle out there. Would be a huge book, but it certainly would be resourceful.
