Found this bottle today in Post Oak Creek, in Sherman, TX. Went looking for fossils, shark teeth specifically and while I found quite a few of them, this glass bottle has me more excited than anything I found.

Some quick research tells me JC Bouge bottled CocaCola in the early 1900s, 1907-1914 I believe. I believe in 1914, Bouge sold his plant to someone else so I believe this bottle to be before 1914, unless the new bottler and owner continued to use JC Bouge on the bottles.

I saw another post showing a similar bottle, but the bottom of mine has 1502 on the bottle of the bottle as opposed to Sherman, TX.

Just trying to identify the year etc.

I don't have any info on your bottle but also hunt fossils which is how I got into bottle collecting.

Yeah, I actually collect bricks and now want to start collecting bottles as well. My wife is not happy!

Good to know! Thank you!

I have found a few bottles similar, but none of them had the 1502 on the bottom of the bottle. I wonder if it was a sample bottle made or maybe a different type of soda. Might have to do some local research in the Sherman area and see if anyone knows.

Thanks again.
