Coke Heart

[capsoda]

This is a makers mark {?} on the side of a pyro glazed Coke Cola bottle. the only other mark is 1. 14. There is also a dot right under the one. Nothing on the bottom. A heart in a circle with wings is the mark I am curious about.

I have sent email inquires to a couple of the supposed top Coke Gurus and have been asked to send the bottle for there personal inspection and opinion because they haven't seen one before. Yeah right.

I have also been offered $400 for it by a local Coke collector that I have known for years and who is the biggest tight wad I know.

These events lead me to beleave that I need to hang onto this bottle until I can find out more about it.

Got any ideas?

Hey Warren, have you tried these people, They have a variation of a heart but not much info.
That's the best I can get but I'm still looking. I didn't want you to think your being ignored. Can you put up a few more pics, maybe of the whole thing too. I was trying with a ribbon-heart, snake, banner but still came up empty. Good luck, Eric

Hey Eric, Thanks. Here are a couple of pics.It is very close to the mold mark on that site. I never noticed they had mold marks on the newer bottles. This is the only one out of two full cases that a guy gave me in a lot of bottles that I bought that didn't have a city on the bottom and a mark on the side other than the standered date. The bottle is most probably from the seventies since the store they came from closed then.

The bottom. I had looked through that site before and didn't notice the mold marks. Some of her info is confusing and some is incorrect but all in all not to shabby. I better get this thing sold before he changes his mind.LoL

Capsoda-I can't see the heart picture real clearly....but have done a "zillion" searches.... hearts, wings, stamps, embossed, seals, insignia.... NOTHING! However, I am wondering, is it possible that it is a Valentine's Day Coke bottle?? A heart and maybe cupids wings???

Yeap Eric, Found that but thanks just the same. It is odd that it is almost like some of the other mold marks except for the wings. They kinda look like a heart cut in half and one half was put on each side of the center heart.
