I think I may have found a new hobby!

I found this old Whistle 6 1/2 ozs. Reg US Pat. Off. Patent no. 70843. 1926.

The bottom has a triangle in the center, and A363, followed by a 9.

The Design Patent #70843 by Vess Jones for this bottle prompted a lawsuit by Coca-Cola claiming infringement of their 1915 Design Patent #48160 in United States District Court in Delaware in 1927. Coke lost this suit.

Here's a real similar bottle from Sylvester (Vess) Jones.
Does anybody know which bottle came first, this (Vess soda) or the whistle bottle shown above?

The bottom of this bottle says "R WASHINGTON DC A 834 O" in case anybody can glean a date out of that.
