GREEN ~ STRAIGHT-SIDED ~ ACL COCA COLA BOTTLE

[SODAPOPBOB]

If this is a genuine bottle as it appears to be, then it indicates the Coca Cola "Export" bottles also came in amber. I'm looking for pictures of export bottles in search of clues and also to compare the script and various other things to the mystery bottle. Maybe, just maybe the mystery bottle is another variation of these sold called "Export" bottles, but has an ACL label instead of a paper label. ???

P.S. I'm also looking for dated ads regarding the "Export" bottles to see if they are dated in the mid 1930s which would place them in the early acl period, which most of us know was around 1934 and later. The only actual date I have come across so far for the paper label "Export" bottles is 1929.

Same link I posted earlier where it says ...

"These bottles were only distributed on Trans-Atlantic luxury ocean liners from the late 1920s to the early 1930s. Because these bottles were to be consumed on board the ships, fewer than a dozen of them have survived, making this bottle almost impossible to find."

Okay, after going back and reviewing the original pics, the thing I couldn't put my finger on was the pixelation of the label. But as I looked closer at it, it is the photo that I'm seeing the pixelation on, not the label.

Emerald, amber & cobalt? That would make one heck of a Coca-Cola bottle display!

My best guess on this cropped and photo edited image of the base is ... 30 But I'm not necessarily saying it's a date - only that it looks like 30 to me and might be a date.

keep trying ot see the whole script,doesn't show the whole thing in any of the pic's would be cool,like he said above something justs nagging at me about it. cool though if it is and probably underpriced if is lol. so which bottlers were still doing straight sides in the 30's? might narrow it down,just a thought

Here's a link to the 1920s ad I posted earlier - but this one is slightly larger and more easily readable ... "Delicious and Refreshing" http://www.adbranch.com/coca-cola-for-export/coca-cola_for_export_in_bottles_1920s/

Anything that mentions the "exports" as having painted anything yet? They all look paper label so far but ads don't tend to mention specifics, do they?
