I was out exploring today & came across this (I'm guessing) soda bottle, the lip is partially broke off, but I'm not familiar with the its diamond markings they are hard to tell in the picture cause the label is gone but the base has Contents 10 fl oz under that is the number 3 a symbol of an I inside a circle then the number 58, under that is the number 4. (Period is after 4) then under that is G-18038 16194143632641163643862731968012.jpg

Does look like a Royal Crown bottle ... circa 1957.

Welcome to Tnet.

I assume you mean this mark is on the bottom:

It’s the mark used by the Owens-Illinois Glass Company from 1954 into the 21st Century. The number to the right will be the date code and if it’s ‘58’ then the bottle was made in 1958. If the number ‘3’ is to the left of the logo then that’s the code for their plant in Fairmont, West Virginia (up until 1980).

Owens Illinois bottles from this period are usually marked with a letter prefix for the style number which relates to intended use and ‘G’ is for beverages. G-18038 was indeed used by Royal Crown Cola.
