Amber, Coca-Cola Huntsville, ALA, root 1

Amber colored, Coca-Cola bottle Huntsville, ALA with ROOT 1 on bottom and 1069 on the base.

Amber sounds like a script bottle. Root on bottom I guess means heal since the base I would think is just that? I guess I'll never know, the post is more than two weeks old and it's still their first. []

Dan was having problems sizing and posting pictures so I agreed to post them for him. I expect he'll be along shortly and comment on them. All I can tell you about them is what I see. And one thing I see is ... ROOT 1 1. Front2. Lip (Broken off)3. Base with ROOT 1

I'm just beginning my bottle collecting venture. I've had a few bottles for a long time and just recently learned of there value. Hence, I have been trying to expand my collection for a couple of months. I recently came across a bottle I've never seen. Amber colored, Coca-Cola bottle Huntsville, ALA with ROOT 1 on bottom and 1069 on the base. The lady offered it to me for $10. I didn't have the heart to just take it from the old gal. Especially not knowing it's value. Anyone have any idea?

OK, the base has ROOT so I guess the heel is the 1069. No biggy, that get mixed up often. Given the condition and it looks machine made I'd say very little value if any to a collector but if you like it that's a different story.Sorry to hear about the family loss.

Dan Please tell us about the mold seams. Do they stop on the neck or go all the way to the top? The reason I ask is because on Blown In Mold (BIM) bottles the seams usually end on the neck whereas on Automatic Bottling Machine (ABM) bottles the seams go all the way to the top. Knowing about the seams will help us to more accurately date the bottle and determine if the ROOT 1 is for 1901 or not. Thanks Bob

By the way, there are a couple of what appear to be the identical bottle on eBay right now. Here's the link to one of them ... http://www.ebay.com/itm/221551154499?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
