Sodabob -
I found a first-issue patent 1920 clear crinky bottle. It's marked "O.C.B.W. Cortland, NY" with a Star of David on the bottom. No date code.
Cortland, NY is 40 miles directly north of Binghamton, making it's closer than Oneonta.

Thanks for sharing. There are lots of so called 'first issue' (Patent July 20, 1920) ribbed Orange Crush bottles - which were produced well into the late 1920s. The challenge is finding one with a makers mark and/or date code earlier than about 1924. The reason I chose 1924 is because I'm confident the following two links refer to confirmed 1924 examples ...

These are the earliest 'confirmed?' examples I have been able to find - especially Morb's bottle. So far I have not been able to find a 'confirmed' 1920-1921-1922-1923. However, I still think that 1921 through 1923 examples 'might' exist. I base this on the numerous ads saying as much, especially this one dated ...

June 30, 1921 (Which I posted earlier)

The search continues for a confirmed 1920 through 1923 example ... :confused:


Footnote:

I'm still having serious computer problems - with today being the first time in weeks that it hasn't crashed on me - at least not yet!
