"Big Chief was an early flavors soda. I don't think it was ever a product of Coca-Cola. However, many of the bottlers obtained the Coca-Cola franchise, thus many of the bottles may contain the "Property of Coca-Cola" line near the bottom of the bottle. There was a vast variety of the bottles with differences in height, facial features of Indian, writing, etc. This was probably due to each bottler obtained his own bottles, so there wasn't any standard bottle. Most bottles that I have seen are clear glass, the early ones were thick glass and quite heavy. Petretti shows one bottle that is light green. Bottles were very durable.
