I was surfing ebay, and came across this straight sided coke. I have bought from this guy quite a few times, and had great expierences. Check this photo though, its a weird crowned bottle, or maybe a blob tooled into a crown? Or just really crude?

Its just a normal crown top with a ring neck. The older BIM bottles had a lot of imperfections. Some of the Pre 1905 ss Cokes did have more of a flared lip on the bottom crown to accommodate lightening stoppers. Some of the Peoria IL ones come to mind. These were made during the transition to crown tops. If I have time later I take some comparison pics of crown variations to show you.

All bottles are BIM, notice the significant crown difference.

Wow! Love the Joplin and Peoria cokes? Rare?


They are Prob. more scarce than rare. I've seen a couple from Joplin pop up on Ebay in the last year. The Peoria I feel is more common but usually command a higher price and demand given its condition.

That Peoria is my favorite by far. Reminds me of something out of a Dr. Suess Book

Dave, where do you get your bottles from? I don't often find ones like that on eBay, nevermind that many [8D]
