Agana Guam Hobbleskirt Coke
Bob, The cases with straps were interesting, so I looked at my case to see if there were strap marks imbedded into the wood, either on the ends of the case or the bottom. There weren't. I can only assume my case at one time had a wood top, but I don't know. The markings on my case are...- Bill H

Here a three more photos of my wood case. The wood is most likely pine, and the nails holding the thing together are flat head nails, probably 4 penny. These cases could certainly be cranked out on an assembly line by the tons. The nails were driven in by hand, and the tips of the nails where...- Bill H

Bob, The "1" I have on #16 looks like the 1 on the Moroline bottle, without the period of course. It also looks like the 1 on the second bottle, but without the line across the base. Bill H- Bill H

Bob, I asked my son to take a took a look at the #16 bottle and tell me what he saw. I showed him another bottle with good numbers so he would know where to look and to give him an idea what to look for. He told me right off the bat iit was a "1." I suppose the year number could be 44...- Bill H

Bob, I said in an earlier post that I had a wood Coca Cola wood crate that I picked up, along with 24 bottles, on the North Slope. I said I picked it up 20 years ago but it was actually 30 years ago. I have 13 other photos of the crate, but it's taken me an hour to get just this far in...- Bill H

Bob, Thanks for the picture of the 3-part bottle mold. I thought that was what one looked like, but I just couldn't find a picture. I took another look at Bottle #16. There is not enough room between the one and the left edge of the Owens-Illinois logo to squeeze in even another 1, let...- Bill H

Dave & Bob, Dave, you're more than welcome to use anything I post. As near as I can tell the smaller letter words "TRADE MARK" are the same on all the Owens-Illinois bottles, and only the larger lettered "TRADE MARK" is on the Chattanooga bottle. As you all know, and as I found out, it can...- Bill H

Those are really cool reproduction crates in the photo. Mine is differently constructed, and I'll try to get a photo posted. My wife and I used a magnifying glass to look at my bottles, so here is what we found: All 24 bottles I have are clear glass with no abrasions or scratches. I've...- Bill H

Bob, I just lugged the case up from the basement, looked at it, and then looked again at the photo you published. If you take a look at the case just to the left of the soldier holding the photo, that's the clearest case end. It says "WT 43" and CU 1 17" There seems to be just a little more...- Bill H

Bob, The Japanese captured Guam on December 10, 1941. We landed on Guam on July 21, 1944, and Guam was officially secured on August 10, 1944. I'm sure Coke flowed onto Guam like a river on August 11. The ships offshore undoubtedly had plenty on hand ready to go. Bill H- Bill H

Bob and Dave, I'm really pumped now. Thanks to everyone for responding. My case looks almost identical to those cases, but I need to look at mine again. Darn thing is in the basement on a shelf. It does have the stencils on it like the photo, but I need to look at the photo closer. I'll...- Bill H

I sincerely apologize if I have the wrong area of this forum to ask my question, but I just joined today and this site is huge. I ran across it two days ago, and it's great. In any event I have a case of 24 clear glass hobble-skirt Coca Cola bottles I found on the North Slope some 20 years...- Bill H
