DATING ACL SODA BOTTLES ... (PART I)

It just dawned on me that your Canada Dry might be a paper label bottle. Which is fine. They too would have the same or similar date codes. I was just hoping to confirm this, and point it out to eliminate any confusion regarding the dating of paper label soda bottles that typically preceded the acls (painted labels). A typical painted label Canada Dry should look something like one of the bottles here.

Thanks again,

R in a triangle: Reed Glass Co. Rochester, NY. Also, on Laurens bottles from 1960's 70's, 80's from Ruston & Henderson are marked "L" with 1 dot AND "L" with 2 dots to distinguish from the Laurens, SC plant with NO dot(s). RK

always have trouble getting a clear picture of the base on clear bottles, also did not mean to mislead you the canada dry is not acl , no label either is has about 10 embossed straight lines that are spaced apart and run about 3/4 of the way from the base to the shoulder. typo in above post 3<(1)>5 not >6.

Here's a link regarding Canada Dry ... plus a lot of other cool stuff. []

The dot in the center of the Owens-Illinois symbol is still a mystery to me. But the combination with "Duraglas" is definitely from 1940 onward. (The so called 'merge' was discussed earlier). I don't have everything at my immediate disposal, but will look into the (no dot) 7 / Duraglas and see what I come up with. Unless someone beats me to it first. But please don't lose faith just yet.

Thanks,

For the time being I would like to refer you again to the link morbous_fod posted earlier. Hopefully after reading and/or re-reading it, it will shed more light on the inquiry you raised. The word 'complex' comes to mind, so please be prepared for some of that. I'll be back!

Thanks,
