    Re: letters on coke bottle?

    By chance is there a 2 digit number toward the bottom? and while looking, is there a word, like" root"etc...?

    I feel that the lettering is where it was bottled, or the distributor.

    Near bottom reads:
    CONTS. 6 1/2 FL.OZ
    PROPERTY OF COCO COLA
    BOTTLING CO.

    On bottom:letters L.G.W.
    No other markings on bottle than D.D.B. on both sides
    It is aqua greenish color

    Found two of these bottles in the same hole with a 1906 Indian head cent!All were in great condition.

    Re: letters on coke bottle?

    well shoot, I thought I'd have an answer for you but unfortunately I don't EXCEPT to share this: when I found an old coke bottle embossed with C. S. Barnes I called my local Coca-Cola bottling company and was told it was from a local distributor of "flavored" sodas; in this case it was rootbeer and bottled in 1922. They offered $25.00 for it, I declined the offer as it was one of the first I ever found.

    So, maybe call your local coke plant?
