pics of 75th Anniversary Coca-Cola bottles. Need the Rock Hill and Thomas clear bottles to complete the set. Also always looking for no-logo commemoratives along with a couple of 7up retiree bottles and a few others by Pepsi, etc.

Great stuff, I really appreciate your efforts to not have other bottles hidden in obscurity behind other bottles. I never did understanding having bottles on a shelf three and four deep, to me it looks like crap, you've done an amazing job trying to display them all without making them look like a cluttered mess. Well done...Jim

Hi all - Thanks for the compliments, I appreciate them. Originally, I placed the bottles on the shelves in rows but as time went on, space became an issue. Later I started "staggering" bottles around the supports on the shelves. Probably gained 8-10 bottles per shelf this way.

I pretty much gave up on the 8 oz. Coke commemoratives due to space issues. Have a lot of them but came a time where they were coming out way too fast, the graphics looked cheap, and there was no end in sight. I'd rather look for older issues to fill in the gaps than mess too much with the Cokes. Still pick them up if they're for a bottler anniversary or when I see them locally, and a good friend who also collects will bring me a few when we get together.
