Here's a few photos of some old Coca Cola syrup bottles, a set of five. I haven't cleaned them yet, and the goop you see is cola residue. These are thick glasses and surprisingly heavy. I was able to find a similar item here: http://www.cocacolacollectibles.org/bottles/old-soda-syrup-bottle-coca-cola.html
However, these bottles seem to have a little haze on them, a little texture, though I'm not certain because of the residue. Enjoy!
Did other soda companies use these same bottles? Or was Coca-Cola the only company to use these bottles? How are you able to tell their coke bottles? Just curious....
@coke.trevor.cola I know very little about this. Good question. A "C" is molded into the bottom of these particular bottles (certainly may mean something other than "coke" or "cola"), and they were found at a Coca Cola facility in this case. @TGBWC may know more.
These were made in the 1920's for, like Ray said, to test the syrup in coca cola. The "C" in the circle from what I know definately means coca-cola. These were patented and made specificly for the use of the coca-cola company. It's a very unique Coca-Cola bottle, and Ray was right on the money at $25, maybe higher if you find the right sucker (buyer).
Hey Peter sorry just saw your comment now thanks for the info.
The "C" in the circle is the makers mark for Chattanooga Glass.
Hey I have 2 of these. Where should I sell them?
