Looking throught my grandpa's stuff yesterday I found a six-pack (opened) of a coca-cola product called Simba. The bottles were green and the cardboard carrier was in tact also. I searched all over and can only find that the stuff was made in the US from like '68- '72. Can anybody give any more info? trash? desireable?
Thanks. In the future I'll hopefully post some pics and stuff, he had lots of old bottles I guess he had a buddy on the liquer commission who gave him a nice bottle of whiskey every year....

Simba bottles are usually a good bottle if it has the lion on it. They came in painted and throw away embossed bottles. Made by the coke company. I would think it is a good thing to keep. depending on which bottles you have depends on price. Post a pic and can give you a better idea on price

What a GREAT find! It is hard to find the carrier anymore. Simba bottles have been going for 10 ounce for around $5 a piece. They are about the most common size. I bought a 26 ounce for $20. Having the carrier-I would say a serious collector would pay at least $50 to $100 depending on condition of carrier. Lets see some pics!
