Straight Sided Coca Cola bottles

[coke_and_stuff]

Just thought i'd share with everyone a few of my recent purchases, I enjoy reading everyones finds, buys, and looking at everyones collection. These are a few straight sided Coca Colas that ive acquired over the last two weeks. From left to right, Augusta GA, Little Rock AR, Lichfield IL, Greenville SC, and one I bought from a memer here Richmond, VA

Those are all really sweet. I tried for that one on the far right, but you beat me to the punch. I score this one off Ebay. Its about 1" taller then the other SS Cokes Ive got and is an Icy blue color. It says root on the bottom, and the bottom is somewhat concave.

Here is the bottom.

Very nice Peoria, Ive seen a few pictures of that bottle before, Are they hard to find? What did that one end up costing you? If I ever sell the Richmond you have first dibs on it.

Im a newbie too, but have collected tons of stuff. I dont know if its hard to find. They might find hundreds in some cache tomorrow. I doubt it though. I collect ancient bronze coins and its same thing! Someone in Isreal, Iraq, Germany, Cyprus, Lebanon could find a ton of them tomorrow. I liked the Logo and thought it was a cool bottle. It books for 225-
I paid about half that much. Probably fair deal, market value.

Hey Pete, That Peoria is sweet and man are they hard to come buy. I had quite a few SS Cokes but wittled them down to locals and a few others. Here is a crappy pic of the bunch on the shelf.

Hey Warren, Thanks for posting that pic, I dont think ive ever seen so many straight sided bottles in one spot. Are the labels originals?

The one on the bottle is and the one in the frame on the right is. The one hanging on the left is a fake from the 1970s. I also have a few go withs like these watch fobs. Ebay has really brought the value down on these unless they are in excellent condition. These are in great condition.

Nice collection. Ive collected lots of stuff and now try to either specialize or think "Quality over quantity" when accumulating stuff. Man, I had thousands of beer cans, they overflowed our house back in the 70's. At this point Ebay is helpful as if I make a buy I usually sell something to help pay for it. I like the watch FOBS and safety markers. Ive got a Dr.Pepper Marker. I dont have a Coke, but think they made Coke and Grapette markers as well.
