old coke found in river

[bob]

Hello,
Wondering if anyone can put a value on this New Bern NC Coke bottle? Also what era is it from 10's,20'2,30's? Thanks,
Bob

I would guess from 1900's to 1910's. Most of the Coke bottles with Coca Cola script towards bottom of bottle are the earlier ones.

I did some quick research and New Bern Bottling opened in 1904, So that pins down the year a little more. Value-I can't really help with, but I will check some books I have at the house and see what I can find out.

Hey Digdug,
Thanks for the help! Since the bottle looks to be promising I'll try one more dive to see if there are any more. Weather is getting too cold to go diving anymore!

Good Luck in finding more! I am still looking in some of my books as far as a value. A lot of my books are packed up. I'll dig them out though and see what I can find.
What else have you found?
Plus-there is a bottle show in Greensboro, NC on November 21st. I don't know if you are close to that area, but would be a good place to see about value.
