Very early Louisville KY amber straight side coke

[Tom smith]

I found this in a creek a few weeks ago just right up on the bank. I can't find one like it online. It is blown in a mold and I can't find a root glass mark on it at all. Any idea on the age and maybe a value it has a few very small lip chips.



Thank you

Porter's Coke Book calls it Common. I'd guess value around $25-$50. Gotta date anywhere around 1900-1915. Nice Find. I'd go back looking for more. LEON.

After some online searching, I found a few different script cokes but not mine in new to this hobby just trying to learn.

That variation with ”Bottling Works 2nd” is neat and you definitely see a lot more of the circle arrow and normal shoulder script ones . Great find and like Leon said for sure you need to go back , look close for signs of glass coming out of the creek bank and you may find a dump. I’d also check out any gullies or ditches running into the creek , those would be likely sites. Good find and good luck with more !
