Aloha Everyone,
I need some help in dating a machine paper label bottle, I took a picture of the bottom of the bottle, it has some numbers embossed on them...thanks.
Looks like a late cork bottle...yep the bottom with the i in the diamond round design is the owens/illinois glass co...owens bought the Illinois glass co. in 1929..so you know your bottle is at least that old...JAMIE
