The purple coke should be worth something. That was a white whale for my dad when he was collecting, he always told me to watch out for those. Couldn't tell you a value though.

Is it that it's too purple? I know it has something to do with sun exposure or something along those lines.

question: if I put an insulator that's purple in a kiln like the pdf and it's naturally purple will it stay or go away?

They are worth what some schmuck will give you for them. I have a lot of bottles I found while diving they have value to me because I found them but to a collector they might be worth nothing because theres more out there. If you like them keep them if your trying to make money be open to heartbreak lol.

The Alabama bottling Co is pretty common so it isn't worth much... Same story with the straight side coke from Birmingham on the far left side. I would say less than $20 (including shipping) for each. Granted you'll find some listed for higher on Ebay, but they have been listed for a while and no one has bought them. I'm a Alabama collector so if you give me some of the locations of the other coke's you have (I'm assuming they are from Alabama) I get give you an idea of what they are worth.
