Earliest ACL Royal Crown Cola redux

[SODAPOPBOB]

I planned to save this stuff for my new thread and probably should but ... Here's a Glenshaw Dr Pepper bottle from Fallsburg, New York with 1680 on the base. I don't know what the lip code is but I'm pretty sure it was not made in 1680 []

You lost me! Check what? What's (LN) mean? Math on what?

Humor ...or a poor attempt at it. L40 x N42 =1680

Ha ha - Hee hee [] Very funny (not) Just for that you get this ... because I'm trying to make sense of the so called G/1927 bottle

P.S. Actually, what I'm attempting to do is catalog the four-digit numbers on the bases and see if there is a sequence of some type that might translate to dates. So far I discovered that ... (See my new thread for the answer) []

So far I discovered that ...

... approximately 85% of the four-digit numbers end with the number 7

Because I consider this a significant find and because I need a little help, I decided not to save this for my new thread in the hope that others might like to participate and see if we can figure it out together. I realize this is not Royal Crown Cola related, but it might in some way help us to better understand the mysterious G-1927 bottle, which is likely a Glenshaw bottle even though that has not been confirmed yet. First of all, take a quick look at the two bottles below and see what you think they have in common, and then come back here for the rest of the story. The common denominators of both bottles are ... 1. Both bottles are Glenshaw ACL soda bottles2. Both bottles are 7 Ounce3. Both bottles are similar if not identical in style, shape, height 4. Both bottles have the Box-G logo on the base5. Both bottles are embossed on the base with the same four-digit number 1937 Obviously one bottle is green and the other is clear, which is part of the mystery as to what the number 1937 might represent. The only thing I can come up with is that 1937 is a "style/shape" code but does not have anything to do with the color. What I need help with is for others to see if they have or can find any more of these Glenshaw 1937 bottles, which I'm (almost) certain are style numbers and have nothing to do with the year they were made. The Tom Tucker bottle I own and is marked on the lip with an R for 1946. But unfortunately I do not know the lip code on the Twins bottle. Anyway, if more of the Code-1937 bottles can be found, especially if they are different brands, then it might help us to establish that the 1937 is in fact a style number, which in turn might help us to eventually establish that the G-1927 bottle is a style number as well and not a date. Thanks in advance to all of you who participate, especially those who find another Code-1937 Glenshaw soda bottle. 1. Tom Tucker ~ Pittsburg, Pennsylvania2. Twins ~ Detroit, Michigan
