Hi This is Probably a Common bottle of the Day but it's a Dover, Delaware marked so maybe someone here might want it? :)
Plus Wondering what the marks on the side mean?84 34 and the first 4 has a ring? around it maybe a D? if it is real crude D[sm=lol.gif] and the 3 is real faint,almost can't tell it is a 3, oh and a D stamped around the bottom rim or at least looks like a D.

The '84' is the year it was made, 1984. The D that is pressed into the glass at the base is something that helps line up the bottle with the silk screen, so when they applied the Coca-Cola and Coke it was placed in the correct spot, not on a seam, etc.
The other numbers are codes used by the bottle manufacturer as to what mold was used to make the bottle, what glass plant made it, etc.
Hope this helps.
