P.S. / Leon
Even though I found several of the G20 bottles from Detroit, none of them included a photo of the heel-mark - only descriptions. However, I did find this 576 EG 23 from Detroit. If we accept that 20=1920 and 23=1923, then it goes without saying that this bottle is two years later than yours. (Duh ). But it does raise a few questions about your Detroit bottle and others like it ...
1. Where was your G20 bottle made? (I don't know but maybe you and/or someone else does)
2. Why did they add the 576 EG to Detroit bottles in 1923? (Possibly earlier?)
3. Likely the E stands for Evansville - but what about the G?
I can only speak for myself, but unless we find something to explain all of this, I don't think we will ever figure it out on our own.

my other 1915 Detroit Coke sez 576 EG26. Then my other one has so much case wear at bottom cant read it? I'm guessing Graham 1920 but don't know what plant made it? LEON.
P.S. Did you notice all 3 of my 1915 Detroit Cokes had different bottoms? seemed odd I thought?
