I picked up a whole case of 6 1/2 oz trademark bottles full with an old yellow wooden crate. I paid $50 for the whole case. Did I get a good deal?

Crate is $20 here on a good day. The bottles depend on which city is embossed on the bottom. Then condition.
If you happen to have a Spokane, WA or Salina, KS I'd be interested.
Thanks!

I'm in the south so most are from around here. I think the farthest I have is Little Rock.

Depends on condition of bottle but I think you did well.. this will be a great display
piece next to your machine... I have tons of bottles.. I use to make it a point to try and find
one mint Coke bottle when my wife and I would road trip... I stuck to just older hobble skirt
bottles from the 50s or older... sometimes I would find none other trips we'd find 4 or five...
I have 5 cases full of empties of Coke, a few of 7up and a few of Pepsi and a couple of
off brands.... Any 1923 Christmas in there?... whats the oldest?... and condition?...

That's a nice crate Scott, and all embossed glass too.
I picked these up last weekend, but they have been sitting in the rain so some of the crates have rotten bottoms. I'll keep an eye out for a Spokane or Salina for you Creighton.

You did okay as long as you didn't get a case of the repro Chistmas bottles that Coke did in the 90's. Do the caps say Coke, or Coke Classic?

They all are the old silver coke tops some say "Coca-Cola" and some say "Coke" but as I was reading up on the bottles, they said that the repro's have the line around the bottom with the smaller writing. Most of mine are like that but I'm only going to put them in the three case coke rack I got.

It's easy to spot the reproductions. They are 8 oz with thinner glass than the old 6 1/2 oz.

The ones that Coke did in the early 90's are 6.5 ounces, green, and thick. You really can't tell that they are new.
With the silver cap you should be good.
