A nice old coke I dug earlier this year in one of my main dumps. I don't it is very rare, but whatta ya'll think?
The bottom has E-UGB-44Is there a city on the base? How about a date on the side? can't quite read the numbers.

There is no city on it, not shure if it is even 1944 to be honest, but no ideadoes it have a city on bottom ? ww 2 era if its 44 , there was a lot of US troops in newfoundland maybe some connection a US bottle
Interesting, I think this is a British Coke. UGB was a UK bottle maker. Maybe that's where you guys were getting your Coke bottles from before you joined Canada, or maybe it was left behind by a ship in WWII? What sort of Coke bottles do you typically find from the pre-1949 years?
Usually just like that... never found any circle slugs or anything of that age around here. Mostly just those ones! I agree with the British guess. It was pre- confederation and that is where a lot of out shipments of goods came from.Interesting, I think this is a British Coke. UGB was a UK bottle maker.

I was wondering specifically which glass companies were making them. The ones we get here were all (or mostly?) made by Dominion, apart from the occasional US one that ends up around here. Never seen a UK Coke before.Usually just like that... never found any circle slugs or anything of that age around here. Mostly just those ones! I agree with the British guess.
