I can grab what's in the picture, 50+ 6oz bottles, plus the three wood cases with dividers for $40-$50 so I think that's pretty decent based on what I've read here.  As for the 10oz bottles, there are 3 cases of those with wood crates and dividers for $75.

Matter of fact I'm going to a bottle show in Bellville IL tomorrow will look and see what they are asking at shows.
Can you post a picture of these bottle and crates... there are some other bottle guys here and pictures would help.
Crates run around $10+ (depending on condition) themselves.



I would be interested to hear what they are asking.  Thanks

Bottle show was nice... bought some Hires bottles in a Hires aluminum embossed carrier to go with my cooler.
The few 10 oz. Cokes I saw were $3 and $5 dollars each.

Wow I guess I did ok then.  I got 72 10oz bottles plus 2 wood crates with dividers for $50.  They are ACL of course and have "money back bottle" printed on the neck so they are probably 70's.  I would prefer older ones, but they were cheap.  Heck I don't really even need 10oz bottles, they wont go in my early V39, but they can go in my 81!  This is what happens when your looking for one thing on CL and...

      10 oz. bottles are pretty rare, I would grab those for sure.
      Reglar 6 oz. Coke bottles with painted labels like these are worth maybe 2/$1.00.
      Embossed 6 oz Coke are  bringing $1.00 +
      Regular open wooden cases alone are worth $5.00.
      But the ones in the picture have dividers, and I sell those for $40.00 +  each.

The open wooden ones are climbing in price around here because if the tacky shic... I mean shabby shic for all of the re-purposing. Closer to $15 and they don't last long.

The dividers are definitely the better ones and I agree, $40 and up about right.

Do you find that the price is the same for the red ones and the yellow ones?  I like the yellow ones better and just picked up this one with the bottles.

      Red crates with the ribbon are from 70's.

      Yellow crates are 1930's and 40's.

I've found they red one sells a little quicker around here but most collectors want the yellow. Both red and yellow get about $15-$20 each depending on condition without the dividers.  There is usually a date stamped in them. The yellow goes right up thru the end of the 1968.

The ones with the dividers are normally earlier. I haven't seen a red one with dividers.
