At about ten known examples, this may be the rarest SS Coke mark out there. This is the first time one has ever been sold on Ebay as far as I know, and the last for who knows how long.
 

Not as colorful as yours, but here's one that, according to one of the co-authors of Georgia Crown Top Soda Bottles, is the best of only 3 examples that he knows of. Probably the best bottle I've found.

Great bottle, makes me wonder how many may actually exist or have been sold by people on Ebay that don't know the first thing about bottles, or who wouldn't even know or care to look at the base of a bottle they are selling. I have seen many amber Lexington SS Cokes on Ebay thru the years, good luck with it.

This is the exact type of seller I am talking about, no base pic, could be the same mark, we'll only know if we ask for a photo of the base....

At about 110 years old, I would hope it's older than you lol
 

The problem with items like these is getting the knowledgeable collector to see it. Good luck!
 

Nice Coke bottle .

Here in Coke Town ATL , I found an old clear glass coke bottle that had a paper label ( it was missing of-course) I found it 20 years ago & funny the bottle has a slight bend from laying on its side for so long .

Love the brown type.

I just walked up on the bottle I described laying in the woods .

In no way possible did your find have a slight bend in it from laying on it's side, any such deformity was done when it was made...
