Thanks for sharing that link with everyone.

I was aware of the upcoming auction and have already signed up for their e-mail newsletter. It should be the auction of the century, but will probably take a couple of years to complete.

Below is another link that some may not be aware of. It is referred to as a virtual tour of the Coca Cola museum in Atlanta, Georgia. (Not related to the auction). It's a little tricky at first to navigate through, but once you get the hang of it, it will blow your mind. It's like walking through the museum with a 360 degree view. I have been enjoying the tour for some time now but still have not seen all of it yet. It literally takes hours to examine everything in detail. Once you get through the videos (or skip them and go straight to the tour) you will come to a page with a floor plan and navagation arrows. It even has a zoom feature. Check it out. I guarantee you will enjoy it.

SBB, cool site I checked it out and see this type of bottle in the collection...These 3 are all a bit different - the one on the left is marked ROOT on the bottom, the clear one on the right has NO marks or #'s... Not sure of the year these were used..
Appreciate any extra info...
BILLT.

For some unknown reason I missed seeing your last post. Sorry bout that! Those straight-sided bottles "typically" date between about 1905 and 1915.
