Super Rare Detroit Bottle Added.

Now I need to find the Exposition Quart from Delray to go with this American Quart. I know someone who has one but he reminds me of that Actor Charlston Heston when he said you can pry it from my cold dead hands. Leon.

Friend of mine, said he spent many hours doing the embossing highlighting. Did it 20 or 30 years ago when he was younger. now in his 80's sez he's not sure he could still do a good job with shacky hands & all now. Leon.

Super Rare Detroit Bottle Added.

After 10 Years of trying to obtain this Bottle I finally acquired it. wasn't a easy task. I once dug a broken busted up Quart version in about 10 pieces & only half there. Been wanting a whole one ever since. As far as I know this is the only one known to exist in quart size. Gotta be others out...

found more flat top cans - Canada Dry Orange + others

Not fairly early, more like late 60's maybe even upto mid 70's. They made flat top soda cans into the mid 70's. Just my opinion, others may vary. Leon.

Soda King Bottles, good trade?

never heard of a antique store trading for bottles, seems kind of odd, your Bottles date to the mid 1960's+. Leon.

Repro, top is all wrong, I got the real thing, about 12 different ones & a rare amber one. All have the same top or similar & top nothing like yours. Leon.

Coca Cola bottles from Lowell, Mass.

most US Patent Coke Bottles seem to get anywhere from $1.00 to $5.00 in US unless some rare oddball variation. just my opinion. The older the better & usually the more value. Leon.
