I found this straight-sided Coca~Cola bottle in the woods a couple years ago, it was laying in the leaves near a very old logging road. I spotted just a glint of glass, and pulled this bottle from it's restinf place.
Checking on the internet, I discovered that they quit making straight-sided Coca~Cola bottles in 1916. That's when they started making the hourglass, skirted bottles. My bottle could be made between 1898 and 1915. Saw one similar to it on e-bay, and the bidding was at $32.00 with 2 days left... so I'll let you all know if I'm a rich man in a few days.
