THE L.A. WOLCOTT CO. Coca-Cola

[Uncle_Jarvis]

Here is one I have never seen before. It appears to be an older blown in mold. The mold seam stops unusually low just above the top of the embossing. The entire neck is seamless. I can not find a thing out about it on the internet or in the books. To me it most certainly looks like a rare early variant.
Has anyone ever see one of these straight sided cokes before?
Its in pretty good condition minus some high case wear on the word "Trade"

I took a few pics of the bottle in sun light and indoor light.

Thanks

Did you check the WVa Coke book? I have a copy at home.

 

[Uncle_Jarvis]

Thanks for the response.

No I did not check that book. I was unaware such particular book even existed. It was nowhere to be found in the Porter book. Its a great piece of reference-literature but I find it lacks accounting for the many variants of given Towns/States.

There are soda books for several states and provinces that include details on Cokes. I am currently updating the Alabama Coke book to include a complete list of bottles.

 

[Uncle_Jarvis]

Is there a particular series of these books sectioned by states or are they written by separate individual authors?

I would also be interested in finding an Illinois book that lists all the straight sided Cokes as I have a few from that state that has me stumped also.

For now though I'm mainly curious about this WOLCOTT bottle.

I appreciate the help .

Not a series. Different approaches by different authors. The two IL books I have contain little info on Coke.

nice coke!

Listed in the WVa Coke book as rarity 4 with 5 being the rarest.

Thanks a lot for looking in the book for me ! I appreciate the help. Cool 4/5* not bad . I will most certainly be holding on to this one.
