So I'm probably on the wrong forum since the word "antique" is right there in the site name, but this is the only bottle forum I'm on so figured it couldn't hurt!
So my father worked for a small, central Louisiana Coca-Cola plant for 36 yrs, where they did bottle on site when I was very young, but quit the bottling in probably mid 80s! My dad is suffering from dementia and can't give the back story on most jof his stuff, but has some interesting pieces, some still full. Also has some full cans but this one caught my eye yest!! Can anyone tell me if this guy is significant, or even the language? If I'm asking about bottles that should be on a different forum just let me know, I was just hoping someone could steer in right direction or had some knowledge!! Thanks in advance

Could you post a more clear pic of label to read the small print, it's kinda blurry?

The language is Russian, I'm guessing it's from just before or after the collapse of the Soviet Union. This one shows the label more clearly, and is described as being Soviet. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/coca-cola-koka-kora-soviet-union-1864740274

This article says that Coca Cola became available in the USSR in 1986. The bottles aren't shown, but some very similar ones for Pepsi are. https://www.rbth.com/history/330168-soviet-pepsico-and-coca-cola
The gold plated brass bottle is from BULGARIA CYRILLIC COULD BE WORTH 300 DOLLARS OR MORE THEY HAVE SEVERAL ON FREE BAY .GRACE ABOUNDS

Thought I struck gold, there's a display case with different sections and a plexiglass cover that has 3 bottles, a hutch, the prototype, then the straight side amber with the diamond label inside, along with a toy horse drawn carriage with removable mini plastic cases, an old bottle opener (kind you mount to wall or machine),another pocket opener with a corkscrew and a knife maybe, a Lil tip tray, some glasses that are set inside a Lil metal holder on bottom half, plus a cpl other pieces I can't recall off top of head, but after taking em out they're the 100th anniversary edition

Yes, it is Russian. I'm from Russia originally, and I remember these in stores in the 80s
