Hello. I am looking for a date and location of manufacture. Found this on 8-22-2021 in Sewanee, Tennessee area during a hike in what appears to be an old dump site. Thank you...

The date code is 1962
On most cokes they have the two numbers and the first is the date code (62 for yours)

WOW! That's pretty awesome. According to https://glassbottlemarks.com/glass-manufacturers-marks-on-coke-bottles/ , the "C" inside the circle on the bottom of the bottle denotes Chattanooga Glass Company. If I'm understanding it correctly...

I didn't know they were still using embossed Coke bottles in 1962. I guess there must have been a period where they were using both side by side?

Yes, they were also making ACL's in 1962. From Porter's Coke book that would actually be scarce if it was a D-Patent Coke, usually most D-Patent Cokes are pretty Common. LEON.
