1921 Coca Cola Bottle

[Adamjen15]

I found it this morning while out detecting. I think it is a pretty cool find.

 

[Adamjen15]

I was wrong about the year, it is a 1921.

Fun find!

Fun find!

Yes it was, it is the oldest complete bottle I have found.

Very cool to find one still in one piece. I have found quite a few old bottles but I'm not a collector of them. I have enough clutter then to add to it with bottles. Good going on your part.

Quick question, how did you date it? Stamping?

Yes sir it has a bottle patented date of 1915 and then at the heel of the bottle it has CHATT 21 which I was told means 1921

And the CHATT was Chattanooga....Chattanooga is the site of the World’s First Coca-Cola Bottling Company!

Yes the glass was made by Chattanooga glass company and the bottle that I found was distributed in Rome, Ga

Bottles are cool! Nice recovery!

Very cool. It's especially awesome when you can pull one this old out complete. I found one from between 1926-28 from my hometown of Lakeland Florida, unfortunately the top was broken on it, but it was still a cool find.

I like the old coke, have found hundreds of those.

Nice find. You can use an artificial Christmas tree branch on a drill to clean that out.

Interesting, I found one few years ago that's similar. I'm going to go see the date.

Wrong Atlanta is the first

 

[GroundSweeper]

Cool find! Amazing to have survived unbroken.

Sorry I disagree Playground Pirate. I would agree that Atlanta was where Coca-Cola was first invented and served as a fountain drink. If Wikipedia is used as a source, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-Cola , they claim that the first bottling plant was in Chattanooga. I don't believe everything on the internet so I they could be wrong.

This is the coolest suggestion I've never thought of. I've horsed around with bottle brushes, mops for cleaning shotguns, etc that all only work marginally OK.

Looks like it is in great condition. Just needs a good cleaning.
