What about crown vs screw top? Is the NDNR crown and have you seen a lip marked bottle on a screw thread?

What about crown vs screw top? Is the NDNR crown and have you seen a lip marked bottle on a screw thread?

So far every bottle I've seen a reference for and saved a picture of is a Crown top, including the NDNR Mountain Dew Bottle. Remember, the lips codes apparently ceased in 1958, and most screw tops came later than 1958. But even with this said, if the screw tops didn't have lip codes, you'd think I would be finding 1959 and later Glenshaw bottles that have screw tops. But the truth is, I haven't seen a single Glenshaw bottle of any kind that has a screw top and beginning to wonder if they ever made them.

The "Style Numbers" I'm currently working with are as follows, which are various sizes, shapes and colors, all of which are Crown tops and are ACLs ...

159 - 305 - 320 - 700 - 721 - 778 - 957 - 1180 - 1247 - 1257
1360 - 1376 - 1385 - 1592 - 1632 - 1680 - 1825 - 1933 - 1937

Here's the base of the NDNR Mountain Dew bottle (I forgot to include the style number in my list) It's marked with ... 3149 1 [G] 69 I'm about 98% certain this is a post 1958 double-digit date code for 1969

In fact, I messed up and forgot several Style Numbers. Here are the missing one's ... 1977 - 2227 - 2247 - 3149

Just for the record, here's the Mountain Dew 3149 1 [G] 69 NDNR (10 Ounce) bottle ... I haven't checked yet, but its possible other sizes (12 Ounce) have a different style number ???

Two Post In One ... 1. I can't find a Mountain Dew 12 Ounce NDNR Bottle made by "anyone" and suspect they only came in 10 Ounce. 2. This recent forum thread (that I somehow missed when it first posted in September 2014) shows two Glenshaw screw top bottles made in 1975. One is a Pepsi and the other is a 7up. However, the member doesn't say much about them. But it only stands to reason that where there are two Glenshaw screw top bottles, there must be more of them! Here's the link ... https://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/1975-Glenshaw-Glass-soda-bottles-m663143.aspx

So for what it is worth, Glenshaw Glass used to be a good customer of mine, when I was selling HR metal for mold equipment and other alloys for other parts, like dead plates and orifice ring inserts. Their products are too new for my collecting and studies. RED M.

Hi, I'm not a bottle collector but found this bottle on my property and was researching it's age when I found this forum. It is a screw top bottle, is seven ounces, and has the square with a G in it indicating that it is a Glenshaw bottle. There is no code at all on the lip because it is a twist off bottle. The only thing on the very bottom is a 7 right in the middle with knurling around the perimeter of the bottom. The bottle is green and the only other markings are found just above the bottom written on the side. The markings are: The square with the "G" in it, then 96 E 3407. The 0 in 3407 is kind of 'blobby' but it looks like an 0 more than anything else. I would post pics but can't easily figure out how to. I just wanted to let you know that apparently Glenshaw did make 7oz twist off bottles at some point. I would be glad to send you pics to a provided email.

Ridgwaters Welcome to the forum It sounds like you found a 1996 bottle. Glenshaw Glass Company was still operating at that time and celebrated their 100th anniversary in 1995. Even though no screw top examples surfaced during the course of this discussion, I recently found the one pictured below that is a 1975 Pepsi Cola with a screw top. I also came across a 7up bottle from the 1970s that had a screw top. What intrigues me most about your bottle isn't that it's a screw top but more so because it apparently is not embossed with a brand name such as Pepsi, 7up, Mt Dew. It must have originally had a foil or paper label, which is somewhat uncommon for a 1990s bottle but not entirely unheard of. Posting pictures here is simple and similar to how you would post one on an email. The easiest method is to click where it says (Open Full Version) which will open a new window where you will see a box at the bottom that says ...
