Notes |
"Big Chief was a brand first used by Coca Cola Bottling companies from the 1910's until the early 1930's when the Big Chief brand was replaced with Fanta and Dr. Pepper. After 1944 there is no bottler bottling Big Chief brand soda anywhere in the United States..." [http://idahoauctionbarn.hibid.com/lot/11220527/coca-cola-bottles--rare--big-chief--indian-head] |
