Help with Pepsi embossed bottom. Thanks!

[screlichunter]

I came across this in and old barn. It is a 1 gallon Pepsi Jug. I believe that it is 50's because of the logo. But all of the 1 gallon jugs that I have seen do not have the Pesi Logo embossed on the bottom. Any verification or other info would be appreciated.

Thanks again!

Thanks!

Definetly 1958 or later and made at the Bridgeton NJ plant

screlichunter -

The manufactuer's mark with an "I" inside an oval (with no diamond) is from the period 1954 - 1959.
The digit 8 on the right indicates 1958 is the date the 8 was put on the mold and presumably the date of bottle manufacture as well.
Here is an article that explains the various dating systems for Owens-Illinois bottles. It also includes a list of Owens-Illinois plant numbers (in your bottle's case, the number 14 on the left of the I in the oval mark).
