I can't tell much by the pictures but the columbus, Ga Chero is very common, that's where Chero/RC/Nehi started. As for the Apl Cola bottle that may be a good one depending on whether or not it's common in that area. Does it have a town? Does it say 3R* or 3 Rivers * in small letters anywhere? Chero is a early 1900s bottle, the Apl is from the 20s or 30s
