Nest question to ponder ... If the chart I posted is even close to accurate in that there are currently no known double letter codes except those that represent 1936, 1937, and 1938, then why do you suppose the double letter codes were only used for three years?

Because I have searched endlessly for a G or GG Glenshaw bottle to no avail, and because my brain has turned to mush as a consequence, if its alright and no one objects I would like to offer a little incentive to encourage others to help out in the search. You may recall in the original thread where I acquired two of the Royal Crown Cola/Jack Dempsey booklets published in 1936 and were intended to teach boys how to box. As you will notice in one of the attached images below, the booklet contains a cool illustration of a "pointed" pyramid bottle. Plus it has a lot of other interesting stuff. The booklets value between $25.00 and $50.00 and if allowed I will send one of them free to the first individual who provides us with "any" soda bottle with either a G or GG on the lip reinforcing ring. However, I am not referring to the so called G-1927 bottle or another one similar to it. Ideally, the bottle I'm looking for should have the Box-G logo on the base. (G in-a-square). This offer stands until ... (To be determined) ? 1. Cover2. Inside showing bottle3. Snippet of info

As a memento to this discussion I purchased this original Royal Crown Ginger Ale label on eBay today. It's from San Mateo, California. I'm not sure when it was produced but it is the same label as seen in this ad from ... 1. The Times ~ San Mateo, Ca. ~ November 26, 19322. My label
