Pepsi-cola / deco / basket-weave / soda bottle design pattern

P.S.

If you use the little search box and type in 'McLaughlin' it does not produce any results for Donald McLaughlin, only William McLaughlin. And yet numerous other references say that Donald McLaughlin was involved with the 1939 World's Fair and helped design the U.S. Steel pavilion. Maybe 'William' is a typo?

Do you see anything that resembles a Seagull's wing in the aviation building?

Another comparison ...

I just received a notice that my 2007 "Pepsi Challenge" book by Stephanie Capparell has shipped. I'm not sure where its coming from because their home page says they have warehouses all over the country. Its the book that says James Gordon Carr helped design ...

"a new bottle with a baked-in label"

P.S.

I wonder if Stephanie Capparell's use of the word "baked-in" is her way of saying ...

"molded-in / embossed" ?

Bob, remind me again, which glass company made those wave/basket weave bottles

Armstrong Cork Company. James Steelman worked for them in the early 1940s as a designer. His son, James Jr. was a mold maker.

Here are two more references for the use of the words "Baked-in-label" One of which is from 1950. The 1950 reference is the earliest use of the term I have been able to find so far and might be where the others got it ...

1950: New Yorker Magazine (See attachment)

When you read this one you'll know as much about it as I do. Its a little vague, but I believe its referring to either Gordon Carr or Donald McLaughlin. It also sound like they are referring to an acl/painted label bottle. Check it out and see what you make of it.

"The Cola Wars" 1980 by J.C. Louis - Harvey Yazijian

By the way, I found a copy of this book and purchased it for a total of $5.13 (which includes shipping)

My thought was that Baked in refers to ACL.

Still can't fathom why Steelman is excluded from credit.
