Hi, all.
This is my first post here. I joined because I found some antique-looking glass bottles recently at an old mine.
I have done a little research online, and have figured our that this is a bottle made by Owens-Illinois Glass, probably in the 1930s or 1940s. I got that the plant number is 20, which tells me that it's from Oakland, CA. The company logo was apparently the first used, between 1929 and mid 1950s. The date code is simply a 4, which is supposed to be the last digit of the date year. Supposedly, this ended in the early 40s, when 2-digit date codes started. Can anyone tell me the date on this bottle, and HOW you figured it out?
Thanks for any help!
Katie
