I recently got this straight side amber coke from a creek. I have no idea how to get a accurate date. It is blown in a mold and a mid script from Louisville. How old is it?

A quick search showed that the Louisville plant opened in 1901. Yours is probably one of their first bottles. Great looking bottle.

I also just thought I would say there is no Root glass mark I can see if that helps at all.

Nice “shoulder script”. Agree with Sandchip, it’s one of the earliest ones.
