Coca Cola collectors.....

This 8 ounce bottle popped up in a trench at work today. I know certain city bottles are more rare than others, anyone know where this one ranks on the scale? Rough value?

I’m not sure about City rarity for the coke hobble skirt bottle, but that one looks like a 1923 patent date. That was the second patent for the bottle and the last one with the actual date instead of a patent number. A nice collectible bottle regardless of the city.

Nice eyeball find.

Great find ! I don't have dollar value for you , but if I lived in Pueblo , Co. and found an early 1920's Coke bottle , with the name of my city on the bottle - I'd be very happy about it - a lot of value to put on a mantlepiece or window ledge in your home !

That's so amazing to be able to dig a bottle that was made in the town where you currently live.
I occasionally use a guy here in Ontario who tumbles bottles found in the ground that suffer from sick glass.
He tumbles them in a large rubber-walled tumbler using copper pellets, they come out looking like they were never been buried.

Here's a rare/early preserve jar I had tumbled,

Look more closely. That is the earliest of the hobbleskirt molds with the Nov. 16, 1915 date. Good looking bottle with the crude script, blue aqua color and the "PUEBLO" embossing. I'm too far away to have much input on its rarity or value. Some of the 1915s are beginning to bring decent money though.

A very nice local find that came out of the ground looking for some one to take it home .I would say you hit the jackpot

 

[Trezurehunter]

I dont know the value, but like others have said, If I found a bottle with my local town on it, I would think I hit the jackpot. Very nice find.

That bottle is a real nice save and looks to be in great condition. Congrats

Here's a 1915 patent Denver-Pueblo bottle that sold For $28.50 with shipping. I'll bet your Pueblo bottle is harder to find than this one.

nice find clean her and display it

Nice old bottle find!

 

[NOLA_Ken]

Got it mostly cleaned up, there's a few spots of mud, and some mineral deposits left, but I'll get to those soon. It's pretty cloudy and grey here today and the pics don't do it justice, but it's a really nice shade of blue

 

[NOLA_Ken]

These three are all from New Orleans, and have the patent number instead of date, I found them all under the same house there.... I think the Pueblo bottle will look good on a shelf with them.

I only asked about value because one of the guys I work with asked why I pick up "all those grimy old bottles" and I like to pick on him back, I never sell bottles, and they will all go to my daughter some day

very nice coke bottle. Great Keeper! notice how thick the sides are on one side of the base as compared to the other. I guess back in 1915 time frame they didn't have the quality control like they do today.
I noticed several say finding a neat bottle in your home town is special. I live in Atlanta so they are not so special to us ha, ha. We always valued the ones that were created farthest away from Atlanta and as kids used to bet a nickle and who ever had the farthest away bottle won the pot.
