I believe I may have found a teal one as well. Strange thing about it is embossed near the bottom of the bottle reads: "This bottle never sold". Is that common? Manufactured in Columbus, GA, anyone know rough value?

columbus is where it all began, so they have the most bottles, makeing them the most common, IF, and this is a big if, it is actually teal, rather than just a dark blue, which also seems to be a common color, if teal then it has a pretty good value, probably around $50+ i would figure, but ive heard of them going for more., if just a common aqua, or blue color, then a couple dollars at best

buster, doug

well what do you two think about it now that youve seen it up close?

i had it at the show, the others that came should have came by my table! i had some pretty good ones there that i was looking for information on.


REMEMBER THAT FLASK I WAS PASSING AROUND THE SHOW ASKING ABOUT?
well i heard back from ralph van brocklin, some of you probably recognize that name, if not then he's THE authority on flasks, he said that he didnt know of a half pint like mine, only the pint, and he said it was definately worth atleast $350!

im glad i didnt leave that thing in that antique mall for $4 now!

RE: buster, doug

Here is another Chero-cola plant you may not know about. It was located in Coeburn, VA and appears first on the 1922 Sanborne map of the area. I will keep my eyes open for bottles.

Here is a G&L bottling works bottle from Pocahontas, VA. I'm not sure is this will help you any; however, it does share a similar design to the Chero-cola bottles. A connection maybe or a bottle company modified design?
