FS: 20 Classic Hobbleskirt Coca-Cola Bottles

[braillediver]

These are Hobbleskirt Coca-Cola bottles I found scuba diving in Lake Washington. Some are probably “as new” since they were filled once, drank and thrown overboard into the lake. They then sat on the bottom in a controlled environment gently cradled in the mud.

1) "DEC. 25 1923" (called the "Christmas Cokes") were produced from 1928 to 1938. Must be careful since reproductions of the 1923 Cokes were produced in 1989. Easiest way to spot a repro is by looking at the base of the bottle. See one of which is repro - can you spot the repro? It's the one in middle of the bottom row. The City/State letters are smaller on the repro. Repro also has a circular line joining the State and City names.
2) "PAT. D 105529" (called the "D-Patent Cokes") were produced from 1938 to 1951.
3) "US PATENT OFFICE / MIN CONTENTS 6 FL OZ" were produced from 1951 to 1958.

PM or Email me through the boards if you’re interested.

I’d be open to Trade Offers since collectors are collectors and you just never know what people have.


Thanks Mitch
