Pepsi bottle, how old is it and what's it worth?

I found an old Pepsi cola bottle while out scoping out gold panning sites. Here's a couple of pictures of it. What's it worth and how old is it?

Howdy Fencer,

Welcome to TNet & thanks for showing us your Pepsi. The Patent dates to April of 1940 by James Steelman, and is called the Wave bottle by Pepsi people. Yours was made by the Laurens Glass Works of Laurens, SC. There are millions of Wave bottles out there. Yours is lacking the ACL, or paper label, so unfortunately, has very little collector interest, and minimal monetary value.

I searched EBay and found a number of bottles. Here is just one: ANTIQUE PEPSI COLA SWIRL DESIGN 1941 OLD COLLECTIBLE PAT.120.277 RARE BOTTLE

Hey vpnavy,

I see these with unrealistic asking prices all the time. You could watch that one not sell for a very long time. Without the ACL, or a paper label, I would be delighted to sell one for anything north of a dollar. When I find them in this condition, I leave them for the next guy...

Thanks for the ifo. That'skind of what I tought, just a conversation piece I guess. I found it while panning in a remote location. I guess one of the old miners must have left it there. Where it was, it could not have washed there, it was at the top of a hill in an old washout spot.
