I just found this yesterday , not a swim find , was about an hour south of where I live and decided to check this old road and see if I could find anything along it . its not even a busy road and gravel , and doesn't even lead anywhere so its not really a place you'd expect to find anything. its also forested but areas surrounding it are farmland . but I have checked this road a couple times before and found a lot of semi-modern bottles that had been there for a few years and other junk along it so wondered if there was anything older hidden along it . decided to check an area further down the road than I had been before . I walked about 100 feet down road and found mostly junk and then back to car other way . then as I was thinking about leaving I decided to check area near where car was cause I hadn't been there yet and found a few more junk bottles and then spotted a clear bottle barely visible from leaves and pulled it out and realised it was an older coca cola and appeared to be 30's era . no date on bottom just a " D " and number 5 . also in pretty good condition , this time period is a tough one to find coca cola bottles from around here , often damaged or broken if you do find one

the cokes may have collectability don't know what the status is with Canada cokes . The ole bush mill is a 1915 or 1920s bottle . if it's blown in the mold it is a lot older.

the 2 newer coca cola bottles I found likely wouldn't go for much in an antique store , I've seen some stores ask very little for those bottles , however the 1930's bottle you just don't see them around much . you'd rarely see one for sale , I can't even remember last time I saw one for sale in a store and I've been in a lot of antique stores . however I don't really watch what coca cola bottles go for on ebay or how often certain ones come for sale online . so not really sure what one would go for ? but I wouldn't have any interest in selling this one cause I know how hard it be to find another .
