Thank you. I have been on that site a lot. It is very informative!
I have some that I presume are Brockway and Liberty Glass. I'm having trouble finding a date code for a couple of them, but I'm searching everything I can find.

Some had no date codes but you can usually tell by the style of the bottle, or the product it was used for to determine an appropriate age.

I live 22 miles from Ruston, La. and have bottles from there, Monroe, Alexandria, Tallulah and West Monroe. A bunch of them are not so well known brands and no Dr. Pepper from around here that old. Want to sell it or trade for some other bottle(s)?

We found this while digging through the "glass field" on my husbands family land. I'm completely new to this, but if I researched correctly, I think it's from 1938 (at first glance, I thought it was a 9, but under better light, it's an 8). It is quite thick, and has some weight to it. Any insight would be appreciated on the date/age of it. Also, based on the city, am I correct in the thought of it being bottled in Ruston, LA? Thanks in advance for any input!

Your correct it's a 1930-40's Dr. Pepper enbossed 4-2-4 clock bottle.These were made before the painted label bottles of the late 40's to 60's.All of these had the city name on the bottle botton like your Louisiana bottle

Thank you for those! Until last week, I never gave much thought to glass, other than nice, or distinct bottles/pieces. I'm amazed at how quickly this has become an obsession for me!

And that obsession only gets worse

Dr. Pepper debossed bottles I have are a clear from Walken, Ill. 1947 and an aqua duraglass from Raleigh, N.C. 1955. 2 different types. Both full unopened.

We're not sure what we want to do with this bottle right now. I will definitely let you know if we decide to sell or trade it! We are finding so many vintage bottles, and I hope to find more like it!

The Dr.Pepper bottle dates back to the 30-50's.All of these bottles had the town and state on them.Vary much like the coke bottle from same era!
