John G. Epping Bottles

I just keep finding this guy's bottles



Orange Crush

Are you guys sick of these?? Not had any responses recently...

Picked this up this week. This was a new style I hadn't previously seen.

There is some embossing on the base, but it's hard to make out.

Picked up some go-withs too

Anybody have any tips for getting the stains out? I tried CLR and cut copper, it helped a little, but there is still more staining.

Looking for a little help dating this bottle. This one doesn't specify if its H. Epping or John G. Epping.

Heel: D.O.C 308

It also has seems up both sides:

Any thoughts on the date?

According to the two Makers Marks websites I use ...

D.O.C. is for the Dominick O. Cunningham Glass Company of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania who was in operation between 1880 and 1931. So I'd say your bottle is at least pre-1932

Did you notice there is something weird going on with some of your pictures? About half of them have disappeared. That is, unless its just me. If not just me, then maybe you can contact the administration and see if they can fix it. It would be a bummer to lose them after all the work you did posting them.

What about the seams up the side? Any certain time period that would be from?

On the photos, it was how I had them in my Google Account. When I moved some albums around, it messed everything up.

The 308 could indicate March of 1908 but I am just guessing. This link is to an extensive article about the company where the answer might be found. I scrolled through it and it discusses various number codes but I haven't had time to review it in detail. Check it out ...

I tried sending this through a PM but couldn't. If you haven't already seen it, you might want to check it out ...

I saw that yesterday too. I'd like to have it, but I'm not sure it's worth that much with the shipping factored in.

I'd much rather have this, but not sure it's worth $30, maybe $20
