Antique ALEXANDRIA Louisiana 1915 Hobbleskirt Coke Soda Bottle LA Coca Cola:
$45.00

Up for sale is a tough pale greenish-aqua colored 1915 patent Coke / Coca Cola bottle from Alexandria, Louisiana. This is of course the earliest form of the well-known \"Hobbleskirt\" coke bottle shape. It\'s got the usual embossing: the big and bold \"Coca - Cola\" logo and \"TRADE MARK REGISTERED / BOTTLE PAT\'D NOV. 16, 1915\" on one side and \"TRADE MARK REGISTERED / MIN. CONTENTS 6-FL. OZS\" below the logo on the other side, and \"ALEXANDRIA LA.\" on the base. I can\'t find any mold numbers at the heel or any other manufacturing clues, surprisingly. It\'s machine made with a crown top lip. It\'s a bit over 7 3/4\" tall and 2 3/8\" in diameter at the base.
It\'s in about average condition with moderate case wear, a 1/2\" wide deep lip flake or chip, heavy scratching and scuffs, and scattered small shallow bruises all around the body/heel. It is definitely a dug example and has dull haze/sickness, although it\'s got a very strong and pleasant rainbow iridescence in this case.Satisfaction guaranteed, if you\'re not in love after handling it in person I\'m happy to accept returns. Shipped via USPS Priority Mail at buyer\'s expense, or pickup in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
