Thanks! They are very unique and the pictures really don't do them justice. I've never seen them either and apparently no one else has because I can't find anything about them on the internet.

The Three Copper Cola bottle is interesting. It has three policemen embossed on the shoulder. Most of what I'm seeing were Orange Crush related from Fayetteville, North Carolina. Check the base and heel for a LGW and any numbers, which is for the Laurens Glass Works and might date the bottle.
