I found this partial paper label Pepsi Cola bottle at an Antique Mall today. Not much of the paper label left, but just couldn't pass it up. I have several of this style without any trace of a label. The bottle is not a Duraglass like[attachment=3-28-15 001.JPG] [attachment=3-28-15 003.JPG] [attachment=3-28-15 004.JPG] I usually find. Not sure of the glass company ( B in Circle ?). Any ideas on when this bottle dates?

Also the embossed "Pepsi Cola" seems bolder than what I usually find.[attachment=3-28-15 002.JPG] [attachment=3-28-15 006.JPG]

Thanks Creekwalker. It was bottled in Philadelphia, Pa. , so it would make sense to have a Pa. glasshouse to make the bottles. Buster

Try to edit the pic. and crop . That's always seems to help when it says my pics. are too large. Would love to see how the original bottle looked. Buster

Buster Your Pepsi Cola bottle is typically referred to as the "Wave" bottle. The design was ... Patent No. 120,277Filed = February 6, 1940Patented = April 30, 1940 The glass maker was ... B in a circle ...Brockway Machine Bottle Company (1907-1933)Became Brockway Glass Company (1933-1988), Brockway, Pennsylvania Hence, the 44 on the base stands for 1944
