the John Verner bottle is very old , according to book from 1881-1897 , was the time period John Verner operated , think its a fairly common hutch as I seem to recall seeing some before in antique stores or bottle show , is a pic of a not broken one so you can see what it look like
another swim at main location , lots of bottles , nothing really stunning , neatest bottle I though was the 1921 patent orange crush but its neck is damaged . also 2 odd Marsh's juice bottles . a broken o'keefe's ginger beer bottle , Canada dry ginger beer bottle , more locals and some old beer bottles .
this article explains the orange crush bottles and the dates , aug 22 1920 isn't listed as a date used on the common orange crush bottles , your bottle was likely used by an independent bottler , its listed in another article that some do exist from such bottlers as to why it would be by coca cola I don't know ? we'd need to see a picture of it to better understand it , maybe post it in soda's section and someone might know more http://www.angelfire.com/yt/soda/Rosman-OC-clear.html
some pictures of the broken O'keefe's ginger beer bottle , don't think its that old maybe 30's or 40's era , would of had a paper label .

The bottle is in poorer shape than yours, its still out at the dig. What I found weird was that on the bottom it says SWCCCo instead of SWCCBCo. I'll post a pic when I go out. Thanks for the info.
Informative article, if I had to guess I have the date wrong. I bet its July 21, but will check. Thanks
more bottles from the weekend at another location , been to it a lot over the years so not really a lot left . did find some broken jars , small 7 oz green bottles , milk jug , 1943 coca cola and some old beer bottles . also found an older soda bottle from Toronto for JJ McLaughlin hiding near some rocks in an area I'm sure I checked already but someone missed it
the cleaned up JJ McLaughlin from Toronto Ontario . haven't found this bottle before so don't know a lot about it but from before 1930's as name didn't survive past than
