EARLIEST OWENS-ILLINOIS SODA BOTTLE MARK (NON-ACL)

RE: Here's your Missing Link from 1930

Depends on the collector. Like I said, I wouldn't pay $10 for it. But someone might collect these green deco quarts, and if it's rare, they might pay a lot for it. You'd probably do best to start your own thread about it, that way you could find its rarity.

I know you are new here, so please do not get discouraged. But it's true what Wheelah23 said. It all depends on the individual collector. Even if your bottle was worth $100, and you offered it to me for free, I would pass on it and say offer it to one of the other members first who would really appreciate it. On the other hand, if you had a nice "Big Chief" bottle you didn't want, I'd be all over it like white on rice. I just depends on the taste of the collector. There is definitely some one here with knowledge and interest regarding your Artisian. And because I do not collect that type of bottle, I really have no idea what it's worth. Start a new thread on it like Wheelah23 suggested, and I think you will be pleasanty surprised with the results. And as far as posting pictures is concerned, try reducing your images to about 600 (Windows) and see if that works.

Good luck. And please don't hesitate to ask for help if necessary.

I just re-read the post on the Artisian bottle and forgot to ask the most important question of all ... What type of symbols ~ numbers - etc, are embossed on the bottom? If possible, a good focused picture of the base would be even better. If it's a <(I)> 1929-30, then it would definitely be of additional interest.

Thanks a lot.

I have 2 Wisconsin sodas with the Owens-Illinois mark, and dated 1929. They are ROBBIN'S BEVERAGES bottles from Richland Center, Wisconsin. There is a mold 1 and a mold 2.

Mold 1 has the O-I mark, the mold number 1, the bottle design number 3247 and the date 29 - all on the bottom of the bottle. Mold 2 is similar except that the mold number is 2.

Mold 1 is also known with the I in a diamond mark (Illinois Glass Co. at Alton), the mold number 1, the bottle design number 3247, and the date 29.

Mold 2 is also known dated 1930. The bottom embossing on that bottle has the O-I symbol, to the lower left a 0 (for 1930), to the lower right a 7 (for the Alton plant), centered and lower down the mold number 2, and under that the bottle design number 3247 and a filled spot in the mold where the 29 date used to be. Note that the date and plant number are reversed from later practice on this early O-I bottle.
