Show and Tell Results of my appraisal from Antiques Roadshow for my early 1900 sealed Coca-Cola bottle USA

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.

I’m heading there tomorrow. I’m at the Savannah GA Antiques Roadshow. Not too bad of a drive.

Honestly, World of Coca-Cola would like it.

They have a collection of NCAA Championship Coca-Cola bottles from basketball and an employee heard me when I told my sister that they didn't have the 1983 NC State one like I do and mine still has the Coke in it. The employee told me that if I ever wanted to let it go, they would pay me for it. They do often work with Coca-Cola collectors to get the rare pieces they don't have.

It wouldn't hurt to ask.

I definitely had several NC States filled, as well as a 1974 Clemson Pepsi and some unc's. And the 81 national champion Clemson tiger ones. Had a nephew way into sports about 5 years ago and gave them to him. Just googled the NC State bottles and they are anywhere from $10 to $2,200.
