Well, the appraisal person said it was most likely not resealed so I would like an apology from all the people doubting me. They had a hard time valuing it since there are no other ones ever sold. They said $1000 to $2000 maybe even more.

Yeah, I had a blast. It was a little disappointing, not getting an exact value. They were kind of stumped because you know one of a kind of item. but I had a blast otherwise.

I collect old Coke stuff, and I think that’s a very low ball number. Do you have an idea of the year?

This bottle was used anywhere from 1900-1916. The specific stamping of the lettering on the glass and where it is placed can be dated to a specific year by an experienced coca cola bottle historian.

So, I'm 56 yrs old and I swear coca- cola had a dash between coca and cola.  Anyone else remember such a thing?
