And the third one is an odd one it is a polar bottle I know it's not that early but it has lots of defects and bubbles and the seam is weird it has a seam from the bottom to just past the mid neck and then has a seam from the lip to the shoulder just next to the other seam has anyone ever seen this before?IMG_20160826_161248917.jpg

looks like an early 1920s dump. the California fig , is very common made up into the 1930s. the soda's are from the early 1920 . And the polar soda was made on a semi automatic glass blowing machine . It tuck two steps ,one to blow the body of the bottle and the second step was to make the lip . the double seem was when they moved to one mold to another to make the lip. perhaps made before 1918.
