I have a USA Orange Crush bottle that I picked up in the other day at Napier's along with all the other bottles. It is an 8oz size, same label both sides, it's a small H variation with 'CO.' as described in 'Krinkly to Mae West' by Michael Rosman. This one has the 'PRIOF' top. He describes this type of bottle on pg.102...pictured on pg.100. He stated the only 2 he's seen is one from Winfield, LA. and the other from Amarillo TX. Mine has no city , just a diamond with . or an I ,...so obviously Illinois Glass used this mark from 1915-1929.Now I believe this bottle has a date code?....I cant find anything referencing too much about it, unless I've over looked it. My understanding is this would be very uncommon?... code reads as follows: I then a reverse 9...so I 934- 27Well any thoughts...thanks in advance, I had a darn tough time getting a pic of the code...I think it means 1927....which fits the time perfect for the bottle finish.[attachment=Pacific Dry-Nelson Bottling Works..jpg] [attachment=OC-Priof.jpg][attachment=OC-Priof1.jpg]
