Is this an original Straight Side (coke)?

I'm confused, I thought there were reproductions done of the SS at some point? New to the bottle-collecting jargon. []

Nice! I still remember my first straight sided coke. Shoulder script from Georgia, was afraid to even touch it

Ahh thank you Alex, that was the information I was looking for. Knew how to tell apart Christmas cokes and Hutchinson from reproductions, but not the SS. Couldn't really find any information on them. I went to an antique store today and EVERY coke bottle they had was a reproduction (and all $8!). Saw the SS 75th anniversary and now I understand what you mean. They look nothing like the old bottles. Clear glass, ridges.

Thanks sodapopbob, I've already went through those links a few times though, at least enough to know how not to get gypped. []

MrSchulz, I find myself wandering over to it, just to pick it up and look at it, then set it back down. Hahaha.
