"Thrill" Soda Bottle
I have 5 Thrill and 1 (same design) Thriller. The only one of those 6 that has a recognizable date code has a date code of 1930. Two of the Thrill bottles are bluish and have designs previous to the one shown by OldBot The other 4 (two are 6oz and two are 9oz) have the same design as OldBot's...- bottle-o-pop

New to collection, need help
The Tall One brand bottles are nice deco bottles. As far as I know, they come in 3 sizes. The Tall One bottles' design is a patented design that was issued on June 27, 1927. The R in a triangle signifies the glass maker as F. E. Reed Glass Company based in Rochester, NY. I have some Reed Glass...- bottle-o-pop

It's been done before but this my variation.
I really like the contrasts of the wood, metal, and antique glass! Rather industrial-looking!- bottle-o-pop

My years long search for a bottle display solution come to fruition at last.
You could use Museum Putty (transparent, removable) instead of melted wax. For a 2-conductor wire, you can buy an inline cord switch. (You cut the cord, then attach the wiring inside the switch.) For a 3-conductor wire, there are switches already wired, with a plug and socket on short cords. I...- bottle-o-pop

This a place of many opinions. I like it, and learn from the opinions.- bottle-o-pop

Big chief bottle
jdeldotto, I recommend these websites: Historic Glass Bottle Identification & Information Website This is a large website with many parts! It is definitely worth exploring all of its links.

Donald Duck Bottle
jdeldotto, my opinion is that the "65" on the base of your Donald Duck bottle signifies the date of the bottle (or the bottle's mold); 1965. There is an earlier type of the Donald Duck bottle with a more pronounced 'deco' design. That one has a design patent dated 1953.- bottle-o-pop

Does anyone know the story behind 3C Nectar?
I have one of these bottles (an all-embossed deco type). Its town label is: Winchester, Virginia. Besides "3-C Nectar", the bottle also has "The Drink of the Gods" embossed on it.- bottle-o-pop

1940s Pepsi Paper labels
I had thought that lightly stippled glass provided more space for glue to be under the paper.- bottle-o-pop

Help with Hobbleskirt ID
Sodabob, no it isn't a Coca-Cola bottle. It's a Frank Banko bottle. Here is a photo of the Banko bottle. It has lost most of its gloss. It's a pity (pun intended). Also attached is what looks like a valve mark on the underside of the Banko bottle.- bottle-o-pop

Help with Hobbleskirt ID
Thank you for that information, Bob! I was looking at some of my bottles a couple days ago and saw a mark like that valve mark. It looks exactly the same except its diameter is only 14mm. The bottle is labeled Frank Banko from Bethlehem, PA.- bottle-o-pop

Orange Smash Bottling Works - Timmins Ont bottle
Back in the 1960s there was a small Cherry Smash bottling building near where i lived. I don't know whether or not the Orange Smash bottle i have was related to that Cherry Smash either. Business was smashing back then, I suppose, both here and in Canada!- bottle-o-pop

Orange Smash Bottling Works - Timmins Ont bottle
On this photo you can see the attribution on the heel. I used a bright spotlight to try to read it. The part that looks like an S is indistinct. I don't know whether or not this bottle is related to the Timmins Ontario bottle.- bottle-o-pop

Orange Smash Bottling Works - Timmins Ont bottle
I have a deco Orange Smash. Its design is a basket-weave motif. On the heel of the bottle it says "Since 1915" on one side, and "The Orange Drink" on the opposite side. Also on the heel are some 1/16 inch tall letters poorly formed. They appear to be: 24 S 1. The 24 is fairly clear, but the...- bottle-o-pop
