I think I read somewhere the the NEHI Bottling co changed to NEHI-Royal Crown about 1940. If that's true than I'd say 37 also. It doesn't fully explain the dot after the 7 though. That wasn't adopted in 37 and supposed to have been abandoned in 46.It's a mystery dot.Maybe the mold was ordered and made before the memo went out. Then 47 would make sense.... except the name change.

That's the one I remember Bob, thanks. 37 then and Streater.Still wonder about the mystery dot I see and was typed. Maybe it's just the picture and a punctuation mark. []
