Old Sistersville, WV. Coke Bottle?

[sandycattzz]

Hi All and Thanks for the welcome!
Thank you so much for the replies!

I bought this bottle in a yard sale in Friendly WV.
I don't think it's a dug one.
(I am a marble collector and I dig for marbles here in WV. and have come across quite afew bottles while doing so)

I saw this unique bottle and just could not pass it up.

I thought the same thing about Frank Kuehne maybe bottling his own ...THEN turning the plant it into Coca Cola.
I did talk to a couple other loacals who informed me that he (Frank) only bottled Coca Cola the entire time he owned the plant.
I have one more lead though, He is a former Mayor who grew up here...as did his family. If anyone should know it would be him.

I will keep you posted as I get more information.

P.S.
Imentioned Frank having a son named "John"....actually his name is "Robert"
Thanks again for ALLLLL your Help!!!
Sandy

SANDY...welcome to the Forum. He possibly bottled other flavors besides Coca-Cola and put them up in the bottle pictured. That was typical of most Coca-Cola Bottling Companies. Any label would have been on the side opposite the embossing.
My research notes include a list of West Virginia Hutchinson Soda bottles ( compliments of Albert Fulk)...He lists a Frank Kuehne Hutch from Sistersville...[8D]

Thanks for the Welcome and information Whiskeyman!

Researching bottles is as much fun as marbles. (I Love it!)

I have a few misc. bottles that I have dug up during my digging trip for marbles that I would like to post for you to have a look at for me.

VA after reading this i went back and took a look again and 4 of the bottles have the W. VA in a dif. spot not sure what thats all about and some of the bottles say parkersburg
