Hey all,
Recently I acquired a beat-up, but still intact amber coke bottle. I found a very similar bottle on this site (the first one pictured on the right side):
http://www.antiquebottles.com/coke/
My bottle is different in that it doesn't have the same writing on the bottom edge, it has "MIN. CONTS. 6 1/2 FLU. OZS." on one side, and "CLEVELAND, O." on the other side. The Coca-Cola script and the arrow are the same and my bottle is natural, not artificially highlighted in white like the picture. The site says they were made from about 1912-1916, primarily in TN and KY. I am wondering then, how rare my bottle is, seeing as it is from Cleveland, Ohio? Sorry, no digital camera yet.
