Okay, I need some research and verification. So far, no one knows diddly squat on this bottle marking, as to how rare or expensive it is.
This looks like your average amber straight sided Coca Cola bottle. This one is from Lexington.
The marking shown here is what has me excited. This is the mark of the Graham Glass Company, rather, a logo they used on advertisements.
"Although
Toulouse (1971:213)
illustrated an upside
down bottle
superimposed over a
“G” as used by Graham,
the logo was rarely
embossed on bottles.
Bill Porter
has discovered nine
examples – from five
states, all in the South – where the mark appeared on
the bases of a straight-sided Coke bottles"

So just how rare is this bottle, and what is it worth?
And to think, I bought it for $19.95.
