These are my 1915 cokes. Two are more blue than aqua. The charlotte bottle has an applied top and one has Coca Cola script on the bottom. I love the color variety with the 1915 cokes. Thanks

yeah, I was surprised too when I got it. I have a list from Bill Porter that has 1915 cokes with applied tops. I thought about collecting them, but they are hard to find.

Bob,

It has neither a makers mark or a comma in the patent date

BBB ~

Thanks.

Scroll to page 52 on this link and read what it says about some of the Laurens Glass Works bottles being ...

1. Hand blown / Machine made
2. Blue
3. No punctuation

However ...

If it is marked with Reed, then scroll to page 53 and read the F.E. Reed Glass Company.

1. New York Coca Cola franchises.

I've heard both applied and tooled top. Either way, it's not your typical ABM coke.
