I have 15 or so old 6 oz Coke bottles, Some look like pre 20's as they have bubbles and are light green. How do you date Coke botles?
Thanks .Glen

Ususally underneath the word Coca Cola it will say something, If it says Nov. 16 1915 then it will date b/t 1915 and 1923. If it says Dec. 25 1923 it will date b/t 1923 up to 1939?? then you have Pat. D-105529 they are 1939? to 1950 something. Then you have U.S Patent Office, not sure when they date around. But on all of these there should be a glass maker's mark on one of the ribs, or on the base. The date it was made will usually be the 2 digit number to the right of the maker's mark. Sometimes the maker's mark is found on the bottom. I didn't go into too much detail because I am quite sure there are many other ways of finding out how old they are. The first two ways are the best way of finding out. All in all you Nov. 16 1915 and Dec. 25 1923 bottles are going to be worth the most, depending on the town's name. Some are more common than others.

Also as for Dr. Peppers, the ones that are wort the most are the embossed bottles (words stick out), not the debossed bottles (words are sunk in). As for Orange Crush email mrosman@sympatico.ca he is one of the biggest OC collectors that I know.

I have to disagree with barqs 10. Debossed means sticks out embossed means pressed into the glass. the debossed glass on the DR pepper bottles are worth the most and hardest to find. I only have one but about 20 of the embossed (sunk in ). the coke 1915 bottles didn't actually come out till 1917 and the 1923 bottles came out in 1925. They were both used for several years after the dates. Generally cokes are dated a little above the base. I don't think I have ever seen a hobble skirt dated on bottom but I could be wrong. Im not really in to hobble skirts. If im wrong im sure someone will correct me. I hope I haven't mislead you.

The Pepsi on far left is probably what is refereed to as a war time bottle. It would have had a paper label on it. Look on the bottom it will probably have a date from the mid 40's. It looks like you have a good collection there. 160z bottles are a funny thing not a lot of people collect them but some specialize in them and it seems the ones you have shown are not very common. I hope This gives you a lil more info.
