I'm trying to get a small collection of unique Straight Sided cokes, here's a picture I found a picture of a collection similar to what I'd like to have...

I need around 10-15 bottles, wondering what other styles would look nice.
Currently I have:
Dallas, TX (Mid script)
Chicago, IL (Mid Script, not Fancy Script)
Louisville, KY (Shoulder and Base script)
Tampa, FL (Base Script)
Columbia, SC (Mid script)
Charleston, SC (Rounded script)
Camden, SC (Base Script)
Cleveland, OH (Rounded script w/ Arrow)
No City/Town (Mid script, light Amethyst)

Basically a mix of the different scripting places and some rare towns. Any ideas as to what styles would look nice with these? [:)]

Add some western states to them :)

Those look cool btw :)
Ditto^^^^^^
I'd add some nice slug plates also, a CE Wright(nice looking bottle for the price) Is there a budget? Theres so many nice SS cokes but some are $1000+.

Well, I'm officially jealous...and one that I think is unique is the amber arrow style. I believe it is from Tennessee. Also a very rare Eckman, WV is pretty nice, kinda boring though. It just has a slugplate I believe and it will sure cost you...
Edit: Tim McGuire has a WV SS Coca Cola book you should get if you want to see a good selection of variants. I believe he ONLY has WV SS coke books though. (Of course, if you don't already have the book)
