Hello Max,

Jeff has got it, 1963, and made at the Huntington, West Virginia, Owens Illinois Glass plant. Too bad the ACL has been near tumbled off.

T'would of looked like this with a bit more surviving paint:

Nothing like an RC Cola and a Moon Pie.

Yup. Now they are more like moon wafers with a bit of moon dust mixed in. Far cry from what they use to be.

I found this one in an old house a few years ago. It was made in 1961. Not sure where it was made, as it came from plant #5, however, between the time it was made, and 1963 that plant closed and the plant # was reassigned to Charlotte, Michigan in 1963. Suppose you would have to have an older plant location listing to find it.

Max , not trying to take your post over by any means, but I gotta share this. Hope you don't mind. I went to the OI website to see where #5 was in 1961. Strange enough they show plant #5 to be in Cincinnati, OH from 1933 to 1939 (idle), then reassigned to Charlotte, Michigan in 1963. Show nothing for that plant # in 1961, yet that is clearly what the embossing says.

The very last time I drank a bottle of RC Cola was Winter of '61....

It was a Saturday night, Mom made popcorn, and we were watching Shock Theater - our Saturday night tradition.

The only light was from the TV, and the fireplace. I was laying on the floor eating popcorn. I was drinking down that RC. You know when pulling down the end of the drink, your lip gets kinda sucked in a little bit?

Something hit my lip!

I got up and turned the light on and held that bottle up to the light. There was a cockroach floating in very the murky soda remains. It had clearly been bottled with the soda

Urp, Urp, Urp.....

And that was the very last time I touched the stuff And never will again - just the idea of it.

At least today they don't re-bottle the stuff....

Love RC Cola. ..Trouble is I gave up all sugar....

I had the same thing happen in '69, only it was Frostie Root Beer, and a cigarette butt. No popcorn, and no tv involved.

Haven't given it up, but have slowed it down. I still have me an RC about twice a month.

I haven't had an RC since I got a bad one in the '60s and it was BAD. As a kid I loved them.

I was drinking them up until mid 2011 when I gave up sugar....

Back in 1985 I worked at a Safeway store and one night while facing the soda isle I came across a 16 oz.glass bottle of Coke with a cork floating in it.My local Coke bottling plant said the would buy it back from me,NO Way,I've been offered over $100 for it.
