First off, I wish to thank those that have helped me here before. I have been ALL OVER THE WEB looking for answers and this is the first place where I actually got them. So, Thanks for then and Thanks in advance for the next question. J I was put in charge of selling off my late mother-in-law’s coca cola collection of around 1000 bottles, 15 wooden case holders, and a couple of other miscellaneous items. About half of it is Commerative 8 oz bottles and the other half is made up of 6 & 6 ½ oz bottles. She also has 2 gold coca cola soda bottles, a small amount of 8 oz, 10 oz & 12 oz bottles and about 10 bottles from Mexico and one from France. I am trying to put together a database which I will then put on a website to sell off the collection. (I started inventorying the bottles a month ago and have it about 75% finished.) I have been trying to gather info on dating and placing a reasonable value on these bottles. The Commerative bottles were easy to find info on and I have that part done in the data base. The rest, (the 6 oz, 6 ½ oz, 8 oz, 10 oz, & 12 oz, with most being code dated on bottle somewhere, with dates that range from 1915 to 1986), I am having problems with placing a value on. I know common bottles are, if you are lucky, worth about a dollar. So, how do you find out if the bottling city is rare or common? I have bottles from the following towns, and while some are easy to guess at, some are not. Can anyone help with this?
Fort Myers, FL – 1925, Charlotte, NC– 1915, Salisbury, NC – 1915 , Laurel, Miss – 1925.
