Questions ... 1. Does it have a paper label or painted label?2. What type of maker mark and date code does it have on the base? Request ... 1. Close up (readable) picture of the label. Thanks

This bottle has a paper label on it both at the neck and on the front. The maker mark was on the heal, it had a couple of numbers and then what looked to be possibly a c in a diamond then I think three or four more numbers after that. All of the weiting on the labels were in English. Also I will try to go back and get a close up of the numbers as well as the label as I am at home now. Was just wondering if this was actually a test bottle as it said on the label or if it was a production bottle that I had not seen before.

I would guess a production bottle from outside the US. Perhaps England?

It's British, St. Albans is in the UK. Probably a regular production bottle unless there's any indication on the bottle that it's a test bottle.

Maker of the bottle could be A. Chapman, London. Never seen one, quite like it.

I have 2 like that. They were bottled by 'Schwepps' of London. I think they are from the 80's. Don't think they were a test bottle though.[attachment=pepsi 8.5oz regular & diet england.jpg]
