Item History & Price

| Color: Light aqua-green | Country/Region of Manufacture: United States |
This is a scarce soda bottle from Birmingham Alabama. Kovels 25th price guide edition lists this bottle as very scarce, and valued at $225+, so this is a great deal on this bottle.
The word "DOPE" embossed on the front did not mean cocaine, but instead it was a jab at Coca Cola who DID have cocaine in their formula. Until the 1950s (and sometimes still today) soda down in the Southern states was referred to as "dope".
And besides, how many times have you seen a bottle with such a...n odd name as this? Kind of funny if you think about it.
Great Christmas present, birthday present, and of course, addition to your collection.
There is some minor scratching on the bottles outside surface, but other than that, it is crystal clear, and a beauty on a shelf.
A quick word on shipping though. I live in the middle of nowhere, so I don't get out to the P.O. much, but I will do my utmost to get this shipped out as soon as I can.
Thanks!
