The bottle also has some minor ground etching and rainbow iridescence. It has no cracks or chips other than what was mentioned. </p> <P>Our research reveals that this was a wine that contained cocaine. Wine containing cocaine or other narcotics was popular in New Orleans in the 1800's. Of course, this bottle is empty! We also came across some articles that said that this was the original formula for Coca Cola. </P> <p>Price: $20.00 plus postage </p> <p>TERMS:<br> Can pay by money order, personal check is also OK--will ship the item once the check clears, or by paypal.com.<br> 10 day return privilege.</p> <p>If you are interested in purchasing this or for more information please <a href="mailto:outpost@goldenpelican.com">contact Us</a></p> <p><A HREF="http://goldenpelican.com/CocaCola.htm">Return to Coca Cola Stuff</A></p> <A HREF="http://goldenpelican.com/SpiritsForSale.htm">Return to Wine and Spirits</A> </P> <p><a href="http://www.goldenpelican.com/index.htm">Return to Home Page</a></p> </body> </html>
