Well Benny, I just looked at your soda bottle pictures. I appreciate your photography and the presentation format. You did a nice job listing the embossing. My problem is that I do not collect this type of glass, but a lot of FORUM members do.

I assume that all these sodas have mold seam lines on the crown finishes shown. This means that they are ABM (Automatic Bottle Machine) made bottles. This dates them to maybe a production time zone from 1903 to today. There are numbers on the bottoms of these bottles that will tell you the Year, The bottle making company, and a number for which plant the bottle was made at.

Best regards, RED Matthews
