Grass green coca- cola from Avon FLA.

[welddigger]

Here is coke I got out of a collection. I was wondering if it was rare or desirable?? It reads, bottle Pat,d nov. 6,1923 / J. S. FRANCIS / AVON PARK FLA./ property of coca-cola bottling co. Avon park fla.

I haven't been on here in a long time. You know new house and all the bull that goes with it. Also have a new camera and I am not very good at using it yet!! Any info would help and I was also wonderig were Avon Park Fla. was??

Hi Weldigger - welcome back!

Can't help you with bottle info - I would guess that it contained a soda other than Coke since it's from 1923.. like the Ribbon Cokes that we have around here. I know Ribbon Cokes are relatively desireable.
You still in Hereford?

 

[welddigger]

Yep!! I'm still in Hereford. I lived in house built in 1900 before and I moved one mile down the road to a house built in 1857. I say to hell with the new houses they are highly over priced junk. Why I still live in Herford?? Who would'nt want to live here?????

They are not rare but can bring 50 bucks on a good day and will fit in with a good Coke collection. Avon Park was a pretty small town but a major Air Force bomb range is 20 mins down the road from it so it lives on.

The green Coke bottle is on the front cover of Hugh Cleveland’s Bottle pricing guide.
