Has anyone ever seen one of these Coca-Cola bottles before?
The only writing on it is Coca Cola, Trademark Registered, New Liskeard.
Having a hard time to find any information on it.. If there is any..?
New Liskeard is a small town in Northern Ontario.
The lip is chipped :(

Nice bottle, you may have a rare city there, too bad about the lip chip.

Here's one from Spartanburg S.C. I recently got a hold of-

Would there be some sort of list that can be found on the internet that states all of the Coca-Cola manufacturers and rarity of bottles?

There isn't a single list that I know of. I can't find a coca cola co. listed in New Liskeard but I did find this-

Wm Taylor has a long history in Owen Sound. The elder William Taylor set up shop around 1885 on his own, then joined with Pringle to form Taylor & Pringle around 1892. T&P made assorted sodas, pickles, vinegar, etc. expanding the soda business to include Coca-Cola in 1905 - a wise move. Several small town soda bottlers were purchased by T&P during the northern Ontario gold and silver rush of the early 1900's - hence you can find T&P bottles from Soo, Haileybury, New Liskeard, Sudbury - though I have yet to see a complete set.

So maybe your bottle came from T&P. I don't know but I think that even with the broken lip, it is still a nice rare coke, worth something to a collector of Cokes or Sodas or bottles from that particular area.
