No, I'll just go and buy some. Unlike you I don't live on a diet of rocks and Coke bottles.

Are they atleast from the 1970's?
Not really an expert, but used to know someone who collected. Here's a picture of the bottle evolution. In the last decade, coke has made many recreations of older bottles like the little green ones and such. Yours has the raised lettering on the glass, but the 'deposit' says maybe not too old, though not sure if the newer glass bottle makes have anything about deposit raised on the glass.

Sweet, and thanks for the sequence of pictures. I think mine might be from the 1980's now, Exept it doesnt have the coloring.

heres a picture so you can see that they arent the same size. I'd imagine that the frosting on the glass is due to the elements, however.

This site might help you id them. The section on hobbleskirts looks helpful to judge by what's on the bottom, with tips for recognizing a reproduction.

Just cash them in for the deposit, ffs. a nickel might get you another rock. then again...... it might not.

Richard wasn't going to post his peter on here again cos he didn't have the bottle for it.

Now that has at least 2 of them, who knows?

I think that glass has to be like 70 or so years old ( not 100% sure) to be considered antique.

Being that they are the only valuable thing you own, I was wondering, do you hide them "on" your person when you go out, to prevent thievery? Or do you rather hide them "in" your person? Inquiringly minds want to know?
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.
