1944 WW2 clear Coke Bottle Question

[hemihampton]

Just picked up this WW2 clear Coke bottle at Antique store. Was wondering if I paid to much? Anybody know the Value of such a bottle? Bottle is from Canada. No line or hyphen between Trade Mark. Has Limited spelled out instead of abbreviated LTD. Has the D in Diamond for Dominion glass on bottom but what does the 9F letters to the left of that mean. To the right is 44 (the year I assume) Is this a rare valuable bottle or common? Anybody know? THANKS, LEON.

I wish I knew more about Coke, Dominion and WII to help. I only have what I'd call rumors. Sorry.

Thanks for link, It explained the F (and other letters) left of D in diamond trademark meant Nov/Dec but for some reason totally bypassed what the Number 9 or other numbers meant left of D. Can anybody guestimate a value for this bottle? LEON.

i have the exact same year of bottle , i found it this summer when swimming if you remember that post about a bottle dive in gravenhurst , ontario where i found a bunch of bottles . so i'm not sure of its price but i'd assume no more than $ 20 . i read somewhere coca cola of canada became coca cola ltd around 1946 so its one of the last years of bottles from canada that actually have canada embossed on the bottle which is neat . i wouldn't say its a common bottle but its not rare either , is a number of them around and i find similar coca cola bottles often when i'm digging but most are broken .


the bottom of mine is 5 C D 44 ,

forgot to add , the problem with canadian coca cola bottles from this era is they never stamped the city name on the bottom like in the us so the same bottle was used all over canada . if they had stamped the city where they were actually bottled some would be all harder to find and worth more especially to someone who wanted a coke bottle from a certain city problem is there all the same .
my guess is the bottles from the 30's be harder to find as they had less money back then and i doubt as many survived as other years , really not sure how many of the ww2 era bottles survived but there is definity a number of them around .

I remember back in the eighties I sold this type of Coke for three bucks a pop unless it was a 1915 or 23 , not from Canada . When I had my auction five or six years ago , I set out a Coke case of 24 green colored Cokes , I think they brought ten bucks for the whole thing . Those of you selling , what do the Cokes from the forties and fifties bring now on average ?

The 1940-1961 Canadian Dominion hobbleskirts I consider quite common. They can typically be found in miscellaneous boxes for about $5 or so. Consumes bottles are much more scarce. 1920-1935 are near impossible to find. Especially if you want a specific variety. I have about 10 different bottles from the 20's period and most are unique, I have never seen or heard of a 2nd example.
