I dont know how long O-I operated but they still make glass today. I think they started around 1920-1930. Bryan (in reply to 3emarketeers) Post #: 4

The O-I mark was first used in 1929, when Illinois Glass Co. merged with Owens Glass Bottle Co. and formed Owens-Illinois. The mark was used at least into the 1950-s or 60s. They are still around, but I do not think they still use the old O-I mark on anything today. Neat bottle, I like embossed sodas. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. (in reply to Brains) Post #: 5

There was even a Char-Mar bottling works in Jacksonville that used Char-Mar as their main brand. It ws supposed to rival Coke and Pepsi for a chunk of the market and  it was bottled from the late 1930s into the 50s. Thats all I could find. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to Jim) Post #: 6

RE: IS THIS A CHAR MAR SODA BOTTLE? WATER BOTTLE???? - 9/29/2006 2:35:17 AM    3emarketeers   Posts: 83 Joined: 8/30/2006 Status: offline Thanks Warren  for responding to my email.     So do you think it would be a fair to say in my ebay listing that it is a rare bottle?  I don't want to mislead anyone, but since there is not much info about it, may there isn't many of these bottles?  What do you think? Do you think it's even worth listing? I was thinking of starting it off at maybe 5 bucks.    By the way Warren, do you have someone named Julie on your mind?  That's the second time you called me Julie--lol.  But that's okay... as long as you keep answering my  questions I can be anybody you want me to be! _____________________________ Angela (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 7

Kinda freaked me out all the stuff that came up under that name. Hey Angela, I don't think I would list it as rare. Maybe harder to find. Durning my search I ran across 2 different ACLs and 2 different embossed and while there was not any real compilation of info there were small amounts scattered all over the internet and one old book I have. I would give you the name of the book but it hasn't had a cover since I have got it from an old digging buddy. Sorry about the name mix up. I should have been in bed and not reading about bottles but I'm addicted. < Message edited by capsoda -- 9/29/2006 1:16:33 PM > _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to towhead) Post #: 11
