Need Help With Pepsi Cola Bottle

[SODAPOPBOB]

P.S. The "Wave" bottle was phased out and replaced by the "Swirl" bottle between about 1956-1958 ...

Thanks, Bob. The Polak guide showed the earlier dates only.

Don't know what you use to edit and post images... In Photoshop you have the choice to "Save for Web"this will open a new window and you can set the size for posting on the web.Great Pepsi bottle... glass looks to be in great shape.

One of, if not the first glass company to produce the Pepsi Cola wave bottle was ... A in a circle ... Armstrong Cork Company (Glass Division), Lancaster, Pennsylvania; Millville, New Jersey [former Whitall Tatum Co. Plant] ; Dunkirk, Indiana [former Hart Glass Mfg Co. Plant]. Mark was used from 1938-1969 on bottles and insulators. If there is a line underneath the “circled A”, this indicates the bottle was produced at the Dunkirk plant.
Notice on the attached images of this Armstrong Pepsi Cola wave bottle ... 1. Partial image of entire bottle 2. The paper label says "Shelf Sample" which is another way of saying "Prototype" Also notice the date 2-14-40 (Feb 14, 1940) Which is only one week after the patent design was filed. 3. The base it is embossed with "Design Patent Applied For" and "A401" for "Armstrong 1940"

One of the Armstrong plants was located in Millville, New Jersey - which is where James Steelman, the inventor of the Pepsi Cola wave bottle, lived at the time ...

This link is to a "first issue" Pepsi Cola "Wave" bottle currently on eBay. If it didn't have so much case ware, I'd buy it. These first issue bottles with "DES. PAT. APP. FOR" and "40" on the base are harder to come by than the bottles with the patent number 120,277 on them. Check it out - only $3.00 plus $17.00 shipping ... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pepsi-Cola-Bottle-Cincinnati-Ohio-DES-PAT-APP-FOR-/111631229029?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19fdbd6065 Note: I can't make out the glass maker mark but wouldn't be surprised if it's Armstrong
