while not common this style in not exactly rare. they made this with the smooth glass like yours and a textured one with the same markings. the green embossed deco bottles are the rare ones.

Michael Rosman, author of the Orange Crush collecting book "Krinkly to Mae West" calls those bottles "moderately common", and there are two variations of this design, but no stippling that I am aware of. The variation is actually simple and involves the neck acl. As you can see it is the existance of the Return For Deposit acl or the lack there of. I have both of them.

There is a green Orange Crush bottle from this era which is stippled; however, it doesn't use that acl design. It uses the normal green border on white background acl that exists on the clear Orange Crush bottles of this type, but the acl is applied to a green glass bottle. Mr. Rosman has one in his collection, and that was the only one he had seen. One came up on ebay earlier this year and I was beaten out on it even with a lip chip. This bottle is described as "extremely rare" and may have been a test market thing for one individual bottler that just didn't take.

So it is, and another variation rears it head. That Lemon Crush is much smaller than mine. I want's them both. LOL!
