Not really old but really cool to me

I was out and about rummaging around on the property and came across this Coke bottle I had never seen before. It's a 2 liter glass Coke bottle that on one side says ounces and the other says liters, I assume so it could be used in both the American and European markets. It's super thick and heavy and cleaned up really nicely for being out in the mud for so many years. A little research showed that they made these for a small run in the 1970's but had to pull them from the shelves and destroy them in a recall. Apparently they were so thick that in a few cases they fell from high shelves of stores and if hit at the right angle in the neck they would not break but instead blast the cap off and shoot around like a rocket :laughing: Thats when Coke went to plastic 2 liter bottles!

I doubt it's worth anything but it makes a cool place to store my clad and a nice conversation piece. Thought I'd share :cool:
