Reproduction Coke bottle?

Most Cokes are dated, all are after about 1920 or 21. Reed Cokes are dated on the heel (Use a 4x glass!) The earliest Reed Cokes I've seen are dated 21. The R in ∆ mark dates from 1923. Those without a city name are interesting but not worth a lot. But they are almost all a very attractive...

Need help with this 1915 Coca Cola

I don't actually have a 26, I have a 25 and a couple of 28s. I believe the numbers are clear, as is the mold code on them all. I'm not good at photography anyway. Sorry.

Need help with this 1915 Coca Cola

I'm not sure if I replied or not. I just checked my Root Cokes. I have 5 1EN molds all dated from 1925 to 1928. Case closed!

Need help with this 1915 Coca Cola

I agree it's probably 26. A 20 would most likely be full of bubbles.

Bay city Tex coke bottle

Your Bay City TEX Pat. D is a good one! Dated on the lower side (the 2 digits to right of maker's mark) could be anywhere from38 to 51. (The earlier the better!) Most D pats are very under-rated. Many are quite scarce, especially in mint or near mint condition.

There is a 2 digit date to the right of ROOT. I can just see the 2 in your picture. Dates on Root 15s go up to 31(!)

Altered Coca-Cola bottle

I have three Georgia script straight-side Coke bottles that have a "PROPERTY OF COCA-COCA..." (etc) side mold. Very interesting error!

Graveyard Coca-Cola's

Hello Scotsman! That is really nice grave marking! Good thing its still there. I wonder if earlier bottles were replaced with later ones over time? By the way, I bought a broken Jones Mill SS on e-bay a while back (for a LOT of $$ too). Was that yours?
