I suppose all of us have some of these bottles (perhaps from different bottling companies and with different names or embossing) in our collections. I have a several of them.

In working with some of the authors, I have had opportunities to see pages from glass manufacturing cataloges. There were many designs for plain bottles that could be ordered, probably economically, and modified by the bottler. This is apparently one of them.

I have a very old book on bottles that has filled the white space with such kinds of /pages/ads. The book has all kinds of bottles in it, but I bought it for those "ads" for the bottles. Perhaps it would make a neat informational article for a future issue of the Fizz.

Anyway, that's how I figured out that, for at least some of the glass manufacturers, what some of those "mystery" numbers were on the bottom of the bottle - the manufactures stock number for the bottle (or mold number, however you want to look at it). Also, I bought a whole box full of ACL proofs. On them is the customer, location, date and stock/mold number for the bottle. Sometimes, if you are lucky to have the bottle that corresponds with the customer (brand) and check the bottom, I found that the stock number on the "pyroproof" matched with the "mystery" number on the bottom of the bottle. Well, at least for the manuf. I had proofs for, it did.

Hey-I found the 4 panel soda water bottle, but instead of having the usual stars it has small contour Coke bottles embossed on it. I will try to get a photo of it and post it the next day or two. Anyone else find one with the contour bottle on it?

Nope haven't seen one of those. Post that picture.
