Clear Coca Cola Hobbleskirt

[jays emporium]

I think this has been discussed before but I don't remember the details. I found a clear glass Coke bottle dated 1944. I think these were used during WWII for servicemen overseas. Anyone familiar with these? Sodapopbob?

The base has no embossing other than a dot.

I'm thinking definite WWII (made here and shipped overseas) bottle, but first can you show and/or tell us exactly what the "side mark" indicates?

Thanks

Bob

Here are a couple of forum links I feel contain some of the best discussions/information on WWII era Coca Cola bottles - the second thread was posted to just the other day by member daven2nl ...

The side embossing is 7 Owens symbol 44 so Alton, Il plant in 1944.
Thanks for the links. I have looked at that before but didn't remember what the subject line was.
