I was told that the numbers on the right side of the coke are the date however that doesnt add up. My research says that hobble skirts were made in and after 1915 however the one i pictured says 02 which i presume to be 1902 which isnt possible to my knowledge anyhelp would be appreciated on this.

Thanks in advance,
Nate

It's certainly not from 1902, and the numbers are supposed to be the date, so are you sure that the digit on the left is a zero?

This is a lot of reading but Coke Bottles are a different bird from everything else. And can be complicated at first to figure out. The date is not always on the right side. In fact it can often be on the left. I hope this link helps you out. Also the number looks like a 32 to me.

Just looked at it again and it reads 02

02 isn't the date, it's the two digits to the left of it. I think it says 56?
