Question
my daughter has two or three cases of old coca cola bottles.  How can she find out if they are worth anything.  there are numerous styles.  On the bottom of some of the clear bottles they have the following:  Rome CA, Denver CO, Newton MS, Covington NY, Toledo OH.  Some just say Coke in printed white letters, others have Coca Cola in cursive.  Some are green with nothing printed on the bottom and have Coca Cola in cursive.  All are 6 1/2 ounces.  Most have printed on them "money back bottle or return for deposit".

Answer
Hi Dorothy

I have the perfect solution for you:  antiquebottles.com  They are experts in old bottles, and have a lot of information on the site about what is valuable, and what is not.

Or you can just check on ebay---it's amazing what you find there!
