Philadelphia Milk Bottle

[katemail13]

Found this Supplee Wills-Jones Clean Milk quart bottle while cleaning out the house of an uncle in Philadelphia who recently passed away. I have read about the company, but I'd like to know how to tell the date of the bottle. I haven't cleaned it yet, other than a rinse, but it's in very good shape. Can anyone help with figuring out a date?

Thanks in advance!

Milk bottles like this typically have two digits on or near the base which mark the year of manufacture. I can't make it out in these photos but I would be surprised if it isn't there. Without knowing that, I'd guess roughly 1940s-ish from the look of it.

Thanks, @CanadianBottles. There is an 's' (could be a '5') below where it says 'registered', and on the opposite side at the base, there is what looks like a capital 'i'. There's nothing on the bottom, except what look like some scratches.

I see what looks like L.G. with some numbers after it on the heel, but I can't make out what the numbers are.
