I was going through some bottles I had put away and I pulled out this which I believe I got for $12 somewhere in Florida.
I can’t find much about it, only a few examples. Embossed in script Indian Rock Ginger Ale, Block letters, Coca-Cola Bottling CO. Rocky Mount, N.C. On heel, 7 Fluid Ozs, on...
Picked this up at a flea market. It is a clear, ABM, with suction scar, numerous bubbles and Inscribed in middle Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Registered. Waterbury Conn. Number 173 on bottom shoulder. Contents 7 fl oz on bottom shoulder.

I took another picture of the error bottle in a very similar orientation to the eBay photo. I have tried to show how they superimpose. Honestly the best way is standing looking at the error bottle with eBay photo in hand. All letters match exactly the positions between the two bottles...
I have superimposed the 1923 Nuked CHATT 23 bottle with mine using a superimpose app. I have chosed a similar angle from my bottle and lined them up. This picture is a composite of the two bottles together. Notice they superimpose PERFECTLY. Notice the final 5/6 number is blurry because they...
