List of Chero bottles?

[SODAPOPBOB]

T D ~

Thanks for the insight on collecting Chero Cola's. I kind of figured it was primarily a local interest thing. Here in California where I live, I have never dug or found a single one. Nor have I even seen one in an antique shop. The most common bottles I find and see around here are Barq's - Sun Crest - and, of course, a slew of other national brands. Collectors back east really should count their lucky stars, because you have at least a 100 X 100 larger variety of different brands than we do. It's no fair ... but then again, we have year-round sunshine - avocados - earthquakes, and Tecate Beer! Who could ask for more than that? Lol []

I just wanted to add to your list , The Jackson Tenn. has color variations, one is a weird gray glass color. There is a earlier slug plate Chero-Cola from Jackson Tn and Trenton Tenn. Both have CHERO COLA inside a slug plate, also have REGISTERED and THIS BOTTLE NOT TO BE SOLD embossed above and below the slug plate. There also is a plain slug plate version from both towns which had paper labels. Legend is the local Coke plant used these as there own bottles replacing the Chero cola label. Brownsville Tenn. has a short lived slant Chero-Cola, also embossed the IMPROVED COLA , a rare version of this one has a slug plate on the back with WEST TENN. ICE & SODA BOTTL. WORKS or similar. Search my past posts or digger mcdirt for photos.

The Brownsville bottle sounds like a Gay-Ola.

I recently dug a Jackson Tn. grey glass chero-cola with the slant logo and also a scarce Union City Gay-ola , "IT'S BETTER" , J.Roberts Bottling Works logo. It is displayed with the ten sided J. Roberts hutch, and a block letter Coca Cola also from Union City Tenn.
