Cola Bottles

About Antique Cola Bottles

The two powerhouses of American cola, Coke and Pepsi, overshadowed all competition. Uniform Coca-Cola bottles date back to around 1900, and were straight sided until 1917, when the familiar “hobbleskirt-style” bottles came into use. Pepsi used amber bottles until 1907, and then switched to clear glass like Coke. Until 1951, “Pepsi” and “Cola” were separated on their bottles by two dashes.
