If you have time - you might want to search the Forum - their are a bunch of threads (and bottles). Some resemble yours. You might also visit Dr. Pepper Museum. Oh yea - lower your speaker when you visit - that darn site scared the crap out of me with LOUD audio on the home page!

It looks like a debossed, aqua, slant block letter, no hands on clock, no period after DR bottle. That would put a date on it between 1952 and 1957. Is there a city name on the bottom? Are the letters debossed or embossed? Is it a 12 oz. bottle as it appears or a 6 oz.?

Thank you so much for info and I believe your right it is from 1957 on the bottle it says 5 Lgw 7 LGW IS THE GLASS MAKER AND THE 5 AND 7 WOULD MAKE IT 1957

L G W………………Laurens Glass Works, Laurens, South Carolina (1910-1996). Plants also operated in Henderson, North Carolina (opened 1957) and Ruston, Louisiana. The Henderson and Ruston plants are now part of Saint-Gobain Containers. Laurens Glass Works was a prolific manufacturer of soda bottles. The “L G W” is often seen on the bases of these soda bottles, along with mold , date, and/or style code numbers.
