Why do you say 1989 when it has 1923 on the bottle?

Bill Porters Coke bottle checklist, It reads WARNING "December 25, 1923" Bottles were issued by Coca Cola in 1989 with small letter base plates for several cities. They are dated "89" and are virtually worthless! These city names, as with all after 1965, are chosen randomly and have no real relation to the bottlers they represent. They are called random baseplate bottles. The original 1923 bottles have larger base plates as do all cokes until 1951. In 1990 non-returnable (no refund) bottles were made with the Christmas patent date, There are not very deceptive but new collectors Beware!

I personally when I first got into into hobby bought these like they were going out of style. Some I paid as much as $15-20 for. Post a picture of the base.

You don't have to wait, those are already collectibles and look great for the price you paid for them.
If any of those on the left have an inscription "bottled by Jim and _____". Then that makes them even more collectible. I don't have any of those with the "Bottled by ____(usually two names), but I think you find that around the base of the bottle possibly on the reverse side.

Hi,

Hopefully this message finds you a member still. Can you tell me why the bottle by Jim & _ are worth more? Are they Canadian bottles?

That bottle has a pretty good chip in the base so i would say $5-$10 tops Might be less depending on your area). The Hill Billy bottles are the more collectible.
