The bottle you have is from the early 1990s. It was a NDNR put out to look like the early RC pyramid bottles.

Apparently I should pay more attention to detail. Good eye bottlenutboy. It had me fooled but then again ACLs really aren't my area. [&:]

Yep, never knew they put them out in the 1990s. I used to drink that stuff like water but it slipped out of favor when they started using white sugar instead of cane sugar. It lost alot of its flavor.

thats why i asked what was written accross from the 12oz. i saw 354m and figured it was ml. i didn't want to say anything until i was sure. i have seen alot of these bottles at flea markets. most people were trying to pass them off as originals. some buy them and then don't take it kindly when they find out they're repos.

Warren, Before we leave the thread on the RC Bottle I've got one that I would like your comment on. It is the bottle on the left. It is a clear embossed bottle and probably had a paper label . The question is why was the embossing cut into the glass rather than protrude above the glass as most embossings do?

View a little more to the side. Was this a mold maker's error and wouldn't this weaken the glass in this area?

Thats called debossing. It was popular on Dr pepper for a while. It didn't stay on the RC bottles long and you don't see many with the lable still on them.

Thanks Warren, I've got to check those Dr. Peppers. Hmmm .......[8|] debossing....... My Quality Control wheels are spinning now. Will the glass be thinner on a debossing compared to embossing. The glass is forced into the mold void during embossing ; however, on debossing the hot glass is pushed against the raised portion of the mold.....[:-] . Could be why it was not popular..Thin glass areas [:mad:] Breakage.
