Hello!

I came across this bottle and am struggling to find information on it- how old is it, what was bottled in it, etc. The bottle appears to be affiliated with the Coca-Cola Bottling Co in Crockett, TX but thats about all I can find. Anyone with more insight? The glass appears that it could be cleaned pretty easily but am not going to do so, unless told otherwise.

Reads, "Crockett Bottling Co." across mid-upper band.
Lower band reads, "Crockett, Texas Contents 7 Flu. Ozs."
Bottom engraving has a mark with a "9" to the left, a "2" to the right, and an "I" or "1" below.
Found in Austin, TX

Some call it a cathedral or art Deco bottle.
Probably a soda water or flavor bottle. I'm not sure if it's associated with Coca cola , unless there is a Coca-Cola plant in Crockett Texas. A similar bottle in Tennessee is between 15 and $30 , two local bidders may bump it over$50, made 1920-30's.

It is a flavor bottle.
Crockett was a Coke and Dr Pepper bottler. DP was on one side of the building and Coke was on the other with trucks all down the middle. The last time I was there was 1984.
Crockett is also the hometown of Kenny Rogers the singer.
Also the home of Houston County Lake, one of the best Bass fisheries in Texas.

I got a similar looking bottle from Detroit. Looks like a 1920's Art Deco bottle. LEON.
