Hello All, I picked up a pair of Lime Colas at flea market over the weekend. The one pictured is marked G29 and the other G26. Would these be pre or post Coca-Cola law suit for the use of the word cola? Tim[attachment=Lime Cola.jpg][attachment=Lime Cola1.jpg]

Post. I don't think 'Lime Cola' was on the hit list, in fact, I don't even think it was around in that period. Then I could be wrong.

Lime Cola was sued by Coca-Cola in 1926. These bottles were around the time of the lawsuit.

I always thought the marks G26 & G29 indicated the years in which Graham produced the bottle or at least the mold but have never been quite sure exactly what their marks indicated.I'll have to walk over a few blocks(I can see the Graham Glass factory from my office window) and go back in time and ask them
