Root Glass started dating their molds sometime in 1909. Look at the heel near the mold number 406 for a number like 9, 10, 11, etc. That will date the bottle to the exact year. If there is no date then the bottle is 1909 or earlier. The base script style started in 1900 with the first crown top Cokes but many towns never used this style. The first standard Coke bottle was the straight-side shoulder script adopted at the 1911 Coca-Cola Bottlers Convention in Atlanta. It was optional to switch to the new bottle and many never did.
