Welcome to the forum.

"Big Chief" deco style soda bottles from the 1920s and 1930s are common and can be found almost everywhere here in the West. I'm not sure if you already own it or if you are looking for information before you do, but I would not pay more than $10.00 for one of that particular variety unless it was rare and from an extremely small town. Most of the Big Chiefs were distributed by Coca Cola franchise bottlers and contained fruit flavors like strawberry ~ lemon ~ grape ~ etc. They are totally cool bottles, but not hard to find by any means. Check ebay periodically and you will see what I mean.

Here are some of the (acl) Big Chiefs I have
