OK, I always thought the 44 &45 bottles, maybe 43 were clear glass since they had to save the minerals added to the Glass for War Time efforts. Curious, do they have any city or states listed on the Bottom? THANKS, LEON.

Because the lack of Copper used in the Glass they can be either Clear or a Bluish Green but not the usual Green Coke is known for but yours look like the Usually Green, Mine were found on a overseas military base. No City or State listed on bottom which is typical for the clear ones.
