How much was a glass of Coca-Cola in 1932 in Manchester?

Cokewww - The standard price for a Coca-Cola was 3d (three pence), the British equivalent of the nickel Coke. -- Phil

I have a gallon glass jug that use to contain the syrup for coca cola . Does it have much value to it? Thank you.

bethann - Glass gallon syrup jugs were used as early as 1914, though almost all that are around today are from much later. Glass jugs from the 1950s and 60s with the labels in place (and in good shape) sell for around $12. That covers most of the jugs offered on the collectibles market. Syrup jugs from the 1930s (again, with the paper labels in good condition) can sell for $135. Thanks -- Helen
