Hey Dylan,
" i) 1910-1920 The Ward's Orange Crush era.
N.C. Ward, of San Francisco, a chemist, was the founder of Orange Crush and these bottles are still available, although rare and costly - glass with paper labels, and the clear ribbed variety, including not only orange, but also lime and lemon flavors.
ii) 1920 - mid1960's The 'Krinkly' clear bottle era
This is the era of the 'Krinkly' bottle or the 'Ribbed' bottle, originally clear in color. This bottle came in different designs, contents, cities etc., and was the original Orange Crush bottle with which we first became familiar. These clear bottles were fully embossed, with front and back diamond patterns.
iii) mid-1940's - mid-1970's The 'Krinkly' AMBER era
This is the period during which the 'Amber' or 'Brown' krinkly or ribbed bottle was introduced. It is this distinctive dark brown colored bottle with which most collectors - and non-collectors, are familiar.
* This 'krinkly' bottle was also produced, in the same period, to a lesser degree in emerald green color, with a similar purpose of protecting the contents from environmental deterioration. This bottle, in one style only, is much less common, more valuable, and fully embossed, with different wording in the diamonds, front and back." From.
