I've read in a couple places now, that the ACL "Coke" logo on the neck of the 6 1/2 oz standard hobbleskirt bottles started in 1958 on the transition (half ACL, half embossed) bottles, but was only on some bottles and only became commonplace in 1961.

This is the logo I am referring to:

And this is one of the mentions, found in Doug McCoy's book about Coke bottles:

I was just wondering if anyone owns, or has actually seen a 1958 or 1959 bottle with the neck logo? I have a 1960 myself, but so far that is the earliest I have seen. Someone on facebook mentioned that they didnt used the "circle R" logo until 1960 and later...
