Title: Coca-Cola Glass Bottle (7-Up Green Color)
Post by: valhom on June 01, 2015, 02:54:08 PM

Anyone know their stuff when it comes to vintage bottles? Is this a rare one? How much do you think this one is worth? Thank you.

I always thought it was interesting that the name of the city/state on the bottle wasn't necessarily where it was manufactured BUT was where it was to be circulated.

My dad produced coca cola cans for years and they unique production/company identifiers there as well!

One well known Coke collector said that before Coca Cola bought all the producers of the bottles,,they would make bottles for other drinks as well !!  The workers would sneak around and make bottles with others glass colors !! The reason it looks 7-Up green is because it was made with 7-Up glass !!  He said Coke only made their bottles in Georgia Green which was the approved color for the bottles !!  These are considered error bottles with collectors !!  There was one on Ebay with a BIN of $8.00 !!
