The next is one of my favorite local druggist bottles embossed J. E. Hursey, Druggist, University Place, NEB. I have several different sizes that I've had for years but this one came out of the dirt today. If the picture isn't really clear what you see to the left of the writing is the head of a bull elk embossed to adorn the bottle. Since the mold seam on both bottles pictured stops less than half way between the shouldher and lip I believe these are considered BIMAL. Some correct me if that is'nt right. Thanks Steve

Warren,
Heerre is the only SS Coke I have it's from Orangeburg S.C.. Not sure how it ended up in University Place ( Lincoln) Nebraska. I have tumbled it but only enough to clean it, the case wear scrapes are still evident. I thought it was interesting the ROOT was double imprinted on the base. I have som other straight sided soda bottles but this is the only actual Coke.
