My drink bottle is embossed with the following on one side:
Dr. J. C. Bogue
Sherman Texas
Registered

the other side says:
this bottle
not to be resold

the bottom says:
Sherman

There are many bottles with the same inscriptions plus the Coca Cola advertisement on the web but i have not seen one like this. any ideas about it? i was born and raised in sherman in the 30's & 40's but have not heard about Dr. Bogue before reading some of his bottle history. I also wonder if this bottle is rare or not? (see attached)

That's a cool bottle...I've seen plenty with the Coca-Cola embossing as you note but this is the first I have seen without it. Probably pretty tough to find.

thanks for the help. do you possibly think that this bottle was a show or demonstrator bottle Dr. Bogue might have taken with him when he was trying to get the manufacturers to upgrade their safety procedures?

I don't think so. The bottle shows standard case wear so was used for a fairly long time. He probably sold a non Coca-Cola product in it.
