I hope all is well.

Are you sure it's an LD and not a LP?

And where did you come up with the 1902 date?

Thanks.

LP (along lower heel of soda bottles, within brief series of numbers) ... Graham Glass Company, Evansville, Indiana. This code represents the Loogootee, Indiana glass plant. See Graham.

Graham Glass Company, Evansville, Indiana; Loogootee, Indiana; and Okmulgee, Oklahoma (1907-1929). Another plant location also was operated at Chekotah, Oklahoma until 1923. Graham owned by Owens Bottle Company after 1916, plants became part of Owens-Illinois in 1929.

Tks Bob. Everything is good. Sorry it is LP on the bottle. I got the date from the tag that is on the bottle from my Grandfather.

I'm not sure how accurate the (1907-1929) dates are for the Graham Glass Company, but is it possible the 2 on 1902 tag is a 7?

the tag says June 1902. It might be a mistake from my Grandfather.
