Nice and well deserved! I recognize the photo as the one on the cover of the book your dad wrote about your grandpa, "The Man Behind The Bottle".

Thanks, It's definitely something for me to be proud of.

Re: 1915 prototype Coca-Cola bottle sells for new record bottle price-update

Bottle ended up selling for a cool $240,000! That's a new record in the world of bottle collecting.

The original sketch didn't do bad either selling for almost as much at $228,000!
