Old Coke new to the market

A design known as "Hutchinson bottles" was the first type used by the Coca-Cola Co. Now, they're back in a limited edition with a Christmas theme holder.

The 9.3-ounce bottles, priced around $5 for a six-pack, representing the company's 1899 product, have been distributed to selected vendors around the nation.

According to the Antique Bottles Web site, "There are two styles of (original) Hutchinson Coke: one with 'Coca-Cola' in script and one without. The Biedenharn Hutch is the one without ... Examples of all 3 hutches can be found on the Antique Coca-Cola Bottle Hall of Fame page."
