No problem Bob, I didn't even realize there was a competition I just wanted my guess put on record...Jim

Yeah ... it's the $25.00 e-bay prize that makes things a little different. But even if we don't hear from the others, your guess is noted. Like I said earlier, if I only had a million dollars to spend on either the prototype bottle or the Action comic book, I'd definitely buy the bottle! And even if the bottle doesn't sell for a million dollars this time around, I foresee the day when it will. In the early 1970s you could have bought a decent Action Comics No.1 for about $500.00 (Yes! Five Hundred) []

Of course Jim's guess should count! I say yes...

Speaking of thumbs up ...

To: Jeff ~ Rollo ~ and the entire Dean Family both young and old ...

Thank you for sharing your time with us here on Antique-Bottles.net. We are keeping our fingers crossed for you tomorrow, and hope your grandfather's amazing prototype bottle and concept sketch sell for a jillion dollars each! []

Sincerely,

Sodapopbob

Thanks for all the well wishes and a special congrats to Susan Boyle on her Grammy nomination

Well, we are in the 11th hour. I thought we might want to listen to the father of the contour Coca-Cola bottle one more time before the hammer drops tomorrow morning. Listen as my grandfather recounts the hours leading up to the very first contour bottle. You can do so by clicking on the following link: http://soundcloud.com/gavinmacqueen/earl-r-deans-bottle

And, good luck to those participating in Bob's contest to guess the hammer price of the bottle!

Jeff ~

We're standing by. And can you tell us if the portion of the auction involving the bottle and sketch starts at 9:AM sharp, or if it occurs later this morning? If later, approximately what time?

Thanks.

Bob
