Vintage HBG Coca-Cola Bottling Works Green Glass Bottle – 7 fl oz – Embossed Straight-Side Soda Bottle


$ 74.99

Authentic antique green glass soda bottle embossed with “Coca-Cola Bottling
Works” and “7 Fluid Ounces,” featuring a classic straight-sided form and beautiful “Georgia green” glass. This bottle likely originated from a local Coca-Cola bottling plant (HBG), making it a great piece of early American soda and advertising history.

Unlike later contour (hobble-skirt) bottles, this style reflects an earlier era of Coca-Cola bottling, when independent bottlers used a wide variety of bottle designs before standardization.

Perfect for collectors, farmhouse decor, or vintage display.
