| Coke Bottles, hobbleskirt
and straight sided, ratings. Some towns may only have a straight
sided, and others may only have a hobbleskirt, some both, but there is
a bottle for each of these towns. Also, depending on the type, it
may be more colllectible than another type from the same town. There
are often many variations from most towns, some less collectibe than others.
This is just a broad general checklist.
1. indicates easy to find bottle 2. indicates difficult to find bottle, but generally available 3. indicates very difficult to find bottle + indicates a little more difficult, but not so much as the next higher level Abbeville

The Bill Porter list
and the Georgia Crown Top Soda Bottle book are much more specific

Why Georgia ? This is the state that gave the world Coke, RC Cola & Moon Pie, Ray Charles, Allman Brothers Band, Little Richard, Otis Redding, James Brown, Johnny Mercer, B52's, REM, Gone With the Wind, Bobby Jones and the Masters, Herschel Walker and the UGA 1980 National Championship team (yes, Ga. Tech won it one year too).
I just like Georgia and Georgia history, fun and serious. Bottle collecting is fun and educational. Everyone has heard of Atlanta. A lot of famous Americans have made Atlanta famous. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Andrew Young brought Atlanta to the attention of the world. Muhammed Ali made Atlanta the place for his come-back fight that eventually saw him win the heavy weight boxing championship again. Elvis and the Beatles have performed in Atlanta. Even Elton John has a house there. If I'm not mistaken, there is a grumpy old retired peanut famer that has a Presidential Library there too (no disrespect intended). Atlanta has been the site of the Olympics and many great Atlanta Braves baseball games. The great Homerun King Henry Aaron set "the" homerun record there, and without performance enhancing drugs, imagine that.
President George W. Bush held the G8 Summit on the Georgia coast. He often visits Reynolds Plantation at Lake Oconee and Mrs. Bush has been seen visiting the quaint little antique shops in Greensboro Georgia.
But that is what most people know about Georgia. How many folks out there know that Ball Ground Georgia had a Coca-Cola bottling plant, or that Cuthbert Georgia had a Coca-Cola bottling plant. Have you even heard of Cuthbert? In my persuit of bottles, I learned of Cuthbert, and learned that Cuthbert was the birthplace of famous folks like Larry Holmes the boxing champion, and Roosevelt Grier famous NFL player and TV Star. Cuthbert is where the very first pecan tree was planted in Georgia, and that there is a college in Cuthbert.
A Villa Rica coke bottle is a nice one to own, but did you know in my research of Villa Rica Georgia I discovered that this small Northwest Georgia community was the birthplace of Gospel Music.
How about a Coke bottle from Royston Georgia (I need one). Royston was the home of one of the most famous baseball players of all time.... Ty Cobb.
How about Athens.....
Did you know that you
can even find a Coke bottle with a picture of Vince Dooley on it.... and
if you don't know Dooley, you don't know Georgia football. Incredibly
enough, I found Coke commerative Coke bottles from Snellville, Maysville,
Tybee Island and other great Georgia places.
So, with every Georgia bottle that I collect, I learn a little more Georgia history and geography.
And, of course I can't fail to mention the best reason to travel around Georgia in search of soda bottles; you get to go to all of the eating places that the state is famous for as well. I highly recommend ...
