Bottle Manufacturer ID

[Nickevlau]

Have tried several place to find this manufacturer. Looks like a O within an O. Weak embossing on the sides of the middle O. Bottle is a U-Ly-Kit from Superior WI, Coke ties.

Hey Nikevlau,
How about a picture of the sides? This looks to be a modern crown type. There are lots of glass-maker marks with a circle around another object (but I didn't see a circle on the inside). Since yours is poorly embossed maybe it is a bad strike of one of those other designs?

Check out this site. Spectacular for mold-marks.

WELL MY GUESS WOULD BE OWENS CORNING.... IT IS A COCA COLA BOTTLING BOTTLE

From the link above . . .
C in a circle........Chattanooga Glass Company, Chattanooga, TN & other plant locations in later years (1901-1988), mark was used c.1927-1988. The circle reportedly may be either "single line" or "double line" on some earlier bottles.

Best picture I have of the bottle.

Bob - Thanks for the web site! Great info! I was thinking a weak embossing so I was looking for the missing piece. I don't think it is a C, being as though the left side of the C middle is weak as well. Thank for the help!!

Hi again,
I am posting your picture so everyone can see it. I've had pretty bad luck with those ribbed art-deco style bottles that say property of coca-cola (from around here - anyway). For some reason, they are not as collectible as straight sided cokes or even hobbleskirts. Yours does look like a nice clean example. Maybe its better than I fear it is???

 

[Nickevlau]

Solved! It was indeed a weak embossing of a C in a Circle, Chattanooga glass. Got to look at a few more bottles of the same today. Case Closed. Thanks for the help!
