History

My Great Grandfather used to collect these things by keeping them in a pile outside his houe along with old cans and other bottles.

Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png)

 Bottle is green in color with Cursive "Coca Cola" on one side & printed "Coke" on the other side. with a sort of fluted bottle shape. Almost like the ones you used to see in malt shops in the movies. Very heavy, thick green glass.You can tell where the bottle has rolled around on the floors of places & possibly in th sand around the bottom of the bottle. All the writing is very readable & it says it is a 10 oz. bottle.

Hello Most bottles of the type you are generallly describing are common to the 1960s. Generally the bottle will have the bottler locality information on the bottom of the bottle such as Roanoke Virginia. Without a photograph and some additional information it is hard to provide any sense of value. I can tell you that similar "contemporary" bottles like this are worth a couple of dollars at best.

A lot depends on the shape of the coke bottle, and the period during which it was made. Hope that helps. Phil of The Auctioneere Company
