Need Info on a Coca-Cola Bottle

[bottleboy311]

I picked up a Coca-Cola bottle, Green Hobble Skirt, and it is different than most I have come across. First under the Coca-Cola sript logo, instead of having the patend date, patend number, or ounces, it only just says: "TRADE-MARK". On the bottom where there is usually a city, it reads: "RECD. NO. 1 OF 1937" (on 3 lines). The bottle has an Owen-Illinois mark on the side with 44 on the year side of the mark I can't seem to make out the location #.

Does anyone know anything about this bottle?
Is it worth any more than a regular hobble skirt?

It sounds like one of the World War II Coke bottles. These bottles were used on the frontlines, on ships, etc. Although I hadn't seen the marking about 1 of 1937 on the bottom of one.
