Michigan SS Coke?

[mgardziella]

Does anyone know if straight sida Cokes made it as far North as Michigan? I've been wanting an ss Coke for awhile, (Just to have an example to show people) but it would be sweet if I could get one from Michigan.

Always wondered about that myself. Thought maybe they would have put some on the RR back in the day and sent it north. Any northern diggers gett'n them Cokes,,Pepsi,,,

I bet they had a bunch from Chicago, Minneapolis, prob NY too.. I bet there's a Lansing ss out there..

I have a hobble skirt from Jackson and one from Grand Rapids, both Pat D. I know Lansing had a Coke plant, but not sure how old. You'd think there was at least a Detroit ss?

I know they exist. I had a straight sided coke from around 1915 from Michigan. Funny thing is, I live in Michigan, but found this near Huntsville, Alabama at a flea Market. I think the City was Kalamazoo. Funny I can't find a straight sided Michigan Coke in Michigan but I find it in Alabama? I sold it to my buddy 5+ years ago, now wish I had it back. I could ask him for a Pic if anybody Interested in seeing it? LEON.

That would be cool to see if it's not too big of a deal. Does anyone have any other Mich hobble skirts? 1915s, 1923s?

I'll see if I can get ahold of him. LEON.
