Dan Phillips research turns up interesting My Coca findings

Comments re article 44232 JIM MyCola or My Coca wherein orther unmuddies the waters

Dan Phillips writes:
Ed, all of my looking around the internet today has yielded these findings:
  1. in the 1910s and 1920s there were cola brands that were similar to (or knockoffs of) Coca-Cola.

  2. My Coca appears to be one of these (as does "Koke").

  3. There was at least one court case to try and get a Lexington, KY man (in 1915) from selling "My Coca" by that name.

  4. Bottle collectors sell My Coca bottles and say that they are somewhat rare and, therefore, valuable.
s/Dan Phillips
Thanks, Dan Phillips, for the the fascinating findings. Calls we are getting indicate that My Coca bottles are selling for $100 and more. More material on the bottling companies of the 1900's has been offered and will be posted as soon as possible. -EW
