Some of my Nichol Kola bottles from my collection. Eric wanted to see them. So, here goes.  :laugh:

12 ounce multi-sided and embossed "Nichol Kola" around the bottle above the painted label.

A couple of squat style (clear and green glass) and a multi-ribbed bottle. All in 12 ounces.

An extremely hard to find 6 cent Nichol Kola bottle in 12 ounces. Bottled in South Carolina and priced at 6 cents due to that state's 1 cent soda pop tax.

Multi-sided and embossed "Nichol Kola" around the bottle above the painted label.

Some 12 ounce smooth sided Nichol Kola bottles - not embossed in any way.

A couple of paper labled 12 ounce Nichol Kola bottles. Smooth style, no embossing.

Very unique!
I can't think of another soda that put prices on their bottle.

That's a very nice collection of bottles! Thanks for the pics.

Those are very cool. Do you collect other bottles as well or just Nichol Kola?

Very impressive... I have one bottle! bought it a couple weeks back... Wonder why a company that was around for so long have zip out there as far as collectables?....I have the one girl cardboard
3 bottle caps (one is the 6 cent one) then this cooler?... where's all the bottles, carriers and
crates and stuff... you see every other mom and pop brand.... weird...
A update on the cooler - Lid and base is painted black, sides are painted red, the inner front
and back painted red... outer front and back are painted white for the lettering.... getting the
masking/decals cut tomorrow to put over the embossed lettering then paint the front and back red... then gently peal the vinyl masking off to show the white letters, 3 ribs and 5 cent embossing.
will post pics soon.
And thank you for posting those images.... Those bottles sure would look good with my cooler! :smile:
Anything else you have Nichol Kola please post.. A awesome bottle collection there what else do you collect.... any machines or coolers?....

I used to collect all kinds of ACL bottles but the collection got out of hand !  :Oo:

So, I've been just collecting only Nichol Kola bottles for the past several years. I've taken some more pics of some of my other Nichol Kola bottles but I have noticed they are too large to post here. Will get that done soon.

Thanks Eric. When time permits, I'll post additional pics of my Nichol Kola collection. Hopefully soon.  :smile:

Here's some more pics of my Nichol Kola bottles. Here is a 10 ouncer and a 16 ouncer with their very unique shape from Three Springs, PA.

A 10 ounce bottle that is multi-sided and and has embossed "Nichol Kola" around the ACL label.

A couple of 7 ounce bottles that's multi-sided and embossed.

A couple of 8 ounce bottles. Notice one of them has the 5 cent symbol on it !  :jawdrop:

All of my other Nichol Kola bottles that has the 5 cent symbol on it are in 12 ounces. So, this is a rare one. I wonder if instead of raising the price on the Nichol Kola bottle due to inflation, the bottler simply made the bottle smaller.
