Coca Cola Bottle found. Whats the deal??

[sandchip]

I've seen several carnival stretches through the years and this one doesn't look like an alteration of a finished bottle. It looks like all this happened at the factory, whether intentionally by human, machine error, or anomaly during machine testing. As far as the lack of embossing goes, this one was probably just a later example blown in an ACL mold that never reached silkscreening.

Thanks Jimbo, most are saying what you said and I would agree. Thanks for all the help. I just retuned from a bottle show and there was a lot of excitement. Several of the old timers, if you will, said there is no distortion anywhere so it is not a reheated bottle. Also the seem is perfect top to bottom. So, from what I am hearing today, most are saying it is a Coca Cola bottle, pourded, as is, at the factory. That is way cool. Can someone point me to the Coca Cola Expert and maybe I can bring him the bottle for analysis. Thanks for all the imput. Its up for sale for STUPID MONEY ")

Jimbo, Being this has all the embossing of the PAT D, why would you think something as current at silk screening? Thanks for your help.

I found a very similar bottle. I have attached pictures of a bottle that is exact shoulder and embossing. The only difference is the Greenville on Bottom and mine is Sedalia. Ours both have the same thick bottom. I am thinking these are prototypes or errors made by Coca Cola. Would love more feed back. The pictures are on the first post.

Sorry couldn't figure out how to add the new photos to the first post. This is the bottle I spotted on line. This bottle was posted a year ago on a different web site with no responses. I would love to find this bottle so I can do some comparisons. Very interesting!! I will bring my bottle and the photos of this bottle to the Chattanooga National bottle show and see if I cant learn some more. Thanks for all the input.

Oh, I didn't see the PAT'D embossing. Sorry. But once again, it was blown, not poured.

Got it on the blown. I will get that straight sooner or later. Thanks for the input. Look forward to the National Show in Chattanooga. Thanks again!!
