Hi all,
New to bottle digging and hooked. Found this yesterday. Very cool Art Deco? 13 on bottom. Faint JGB. Any ideas on maker and date?

Welcome to the forum.

Art Deco is the general name for a series of styles, but this bottle is not made in that style. This is a standard soda-pop bottle from the teens or '20s.

Thanks for the info and welcome. Looking forward to learning more.

Agreed.

Welcome, Bufflehead! To a large extent, blown crown top bottles with applied lips were replaced with automatic bottle making machines after 1905. I don't see a seam, which could tell us more, but the rest of it looks like it could be from the late teens and that the seam runs all the way through the lip. Congrats on your find.

1915-1920 I'd put that.
