Coca-Cola Star of David Sharon PA

UNOPENED Coca-Cola Sharon, PA Star of David Bottle

I purchased a box of old bottles and this was included in the box.
It’s an unopened embossed straight side Coca-Cola flavor bottle from Sharon, PA with the Star of David on it.
I’ve seen just a handful online of empty bottles like this ranging from $510 10 years ago to $80 2 years ago.
Mine is still unopened and it has the red lettering which I have not seen any others with it.
It does have a fairly large chip on the bottom edge of it.
Looking for a current value on it.
$100, $500, $1,000 or more?

What does the cap say? It's very easy to refill a bottle, so I'm always skeptical about this sort of thing actually containing the original contents. Bottle caps from that era were also lined with cork and it seems very unlikely to me that a thin cork seal would have lasted for 90-ish years without any evaporation. Where did you see one of these selling for $510? I have a hard time imagining a Coca Cola flavour bottle selling for anywhere near that much, they really aren't very collectible since they aren't considered actual Coke bottles. Usually they sell in the $5-20 range. One like yours sold for $9 twelve years ago: https://www.antiquesnavigator.com/d...a-cola-co-star-of-david-bottle-sharon-pa.html I can't find any others which will let me see the sold price.

Personally I'd be very surprised if yours sold for anything more than $100, and I hate to say it but I suspect that yours isn't worth anywhere near even that much, especially when you consider the damage to the base.

I saw the sold listings on worthpoint.

Well, if you're interested in selling it, put it up as an auction on Ebay with a starting bid of one dollar and see what it gets. That's the only real way to know value when it comes to bottles. Otherwise it's just rough guesses.

I agree with everything CanadianBottles said. LEON.

I'm not familiar with the bottle and don't know it's true value. I suppose it depends on how much someone wants it. Apparently these bidders from 2014 wanted it pretty bad. Condition would be a factor as well.
