Yup, I remember. We would take them up to Pates Grocery (no convenient stores yet) and cash them in so we could get a bag full of penny candy. Those were great times mostly.
There are legit brown straight-side Cokes which are fairly common (the straight-sides weren't standardized and can be found in all sorts of colours), but apart from the mysterious one with an X on the base mentioned early on in this post you won't find any legit hobbleskirts in brown that I'm aware of. I definitely wouldn't recommend paying extra for a brown hobbleskirt, or any other bottle which has that weird off-hue shade of brown that the irradiated hobbleskirts have because those were probably irradiated as well.Thank you so much for this, totally new to collecting. Just canceled my bid on a purple Tampa Florida bottle. I was wondering why a brown one supposedly from the 50's and in mint condition has the re-issue 1989 Christmas markings. I guess things have gotten much worse here in the future from this post lol
