I found this last Saturday in Virginia at an Antique/Flee Market. It was completely covered in paint, purposely. It has everything except the COCA COLA logo. One side has "TRADE MARK REGISTERED/BOTTLE PAT D 105529" the other side has "TRADE MARK REGISTERED/ MIN CONTENTS 6 OZ. It has the "makers mark" "C" on the skirt. Anyone ever see this one before? I cannot find anything on it. The bottom has SEDALIA MO. The bottom has most of the glass. Almost 2" thick on the bottom. The inside of the bottle tapers down to a point on the bottom. See pic. I am thinking maybe a messed up pour?

It's blown, not poured, and I'm assuming ABM, but not sure how this happened without human intervention. Hopefully, Red will see this and explain it all for us. Neat piece.

Looks like someone got the puppy really hot, put it in some kind of a mold to round it up, then stretched the neck. Scott

Some other information that makes me think it may be an altered coca cola mold: If this was heated outside the mold, it seems to me there would be some distorted embossing, distorted top, not tons of glass in the bottom. All dimensions are perfect when it comes to the ribs, rib hight and mouth diameter and roundness are also perfect. When I say perfect I am refereeing to "compared to current antique coke bottles". I really have no idea about re-heating bottles and all this speculation is just a guess. Also, if there was some re-forming by heat, why is all the embossing vissable, with no distortion, but yet there is no "Coca Cola" embossing? Thanks to everyones opinions which I am sure has more merit than my NO EXPERIENCE opinion. The only experience is in insulators. Also the mold line is also perfectly straight and can be seen easily on both sides, from top to bottom.
