Thanks for the patent number - I'm going to check it out and see what I can find out about it.

Here's another one of the Pepsi Cola "peanut/pinch" bottles I found but I'm not sure if its a 29S or a 30S. It kind of looks like a 30S to me! But the mark is on the base and not the heel. ???

Some of the 'pinch' or 'waisted' style bottles in the ayers guide have some 'root' numbers. That would signify the Root Glass co.? I did find the Atlanta bottle in there also with the 29S mark.

Here is the patent for the 'pinch' bottle. Filed in 1929 but given in 1930.

Here's the link to the original patent for the Pepsi Cola bottle being discussed ...

Filed: August 20, 1929
Registered: February 25, 1930

But no mention I can see about which glass company(s) eventually produced them. The 1930 date suggest it could have been ...


1. The Root Glass Company

or ...

2. The Owens-Illinois Glass Company

or ...

3. Both Companies

P.S.

As far as I know, the Pepsi Cola 'Pinch' bottles are extremely popular with collectors. With all of the hoopla that's associated with them, surely someone must know who produced them! Or is that a big mystery, too?
