Looking to purchase this bottle. It's a nice Arrow coke, and I know im getting close to the full value, the guy wants $75 for it. I talked him down from $100 and can't get any lower. What would you say is market selling value? I don't intend to resell it for a while, if ever, just wanting a new bottle, but before I drop the $75 on it, I want to be sure its atleast a $65 dollar bottle, as this would be my most expensive bottle owned.

This is a VERY common bottle. . Its really all about condition.

The average bottle like this though is about $50-$70 on the current market so your on the right track with price.

Understand though if you find any of these in a very light yellow/honey color in good condition they can bring in $120-150 . .

4 of these sold for $80 last week

Nice Coke. I don't own any, but if I did, at looks like it would be the one I'd like.

Uncle jarvis is right on. I passed on a nice undamaged one Saturday night at a Memphis area antique auction. It was not as sharply details with slight case wear. It sold for $30. The one shown is very detailed, I see a flea bite or two and a peck or small chip though. Stick to your price, there will be 3-4 on every week. Buy a nice one late at night or Sunday afternoon. Good luck!

Hi all of you Coke bottle collectors. When I saw the Arrow Coke mentioned - I checked out the thread. I didn't find any like one I have. It is from the last Olynpics in America I think. It is a Hobble Skirt Coke with a wooden arrow through it. I haven't seen one of these on eBay or mentioned here. False alarm.
