Old Coca Cola bottle

[stewystarr]

Landlord brought this bottle over to me so I guess it qualifies as a find. I also posted it in the bottle forum. Ever see one like this? Looks like a coke syrup bottle. When he first brought it over my jaw kinda dropped and then I started thinking it might not be real. He was using it as a candle holder so that is what the blue streaks you see. A little afraid to clean it till I find out more about it. It stands 11.5 inches tall, if that helps.

I'm just guessing that excellent bottle is a lot older than I am, which is 69 years old. Andi

My landlord is in his 80's and said he had it for a very long time so your guess may be right.

Unfortunatly he didn't give it to me, but I do get a cut when it sells. The guys in the bottle forum have been very helpful but still looking for more info. I want to do the right thing by him when I do sell it.

Heres a link about half way down the page stating that one sold on E-bay for $566. The label is different and they had the top but atleast it gives somewhere to start.

Thanks guys, another poster in the bottle forum dug up that ruby lane link and it appears to be the same. Seems like the information on this particular design is scarce. Looks almost Christmasy to me but that may not be true. It is cool though!
