found an old coke type bottle with the Montrose Bottling Co, St Louis, MO on front and Return This Bottle # 99B on backside. Any info you have on it would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

A little more detailed info and a picture would be a big help. I'm not sure what you mean by "Coke type."

Thanks,

Bob, when I read that I assumed they mean like a hobble skirt coke

Except there are very few if any soda bottles quite like the hobbleskirt. Lots of straight-sided stuff ... which could be any one of about a jillion different bottles. But I suppose we'll find out soon enough when Missboy reads our replies.

most people who have no clue about bottles think the hobble skirt style is the onlycoke style ever made

Except there is no hobbleskirt that I know of that says "Return This Bottle" on it. Nor one that has the bottling company name on the "front." Hobbleskirts have the names on the "bottom." I suspect it may not even be a Coca Cola bottle. I suppose the only person who can tell us for certain is Missboy.
