unlabeled pepsi bottle

[pinkshovel]

Hi gang! Hope everyone had a good weekend. I have a Pepsi bottle with no label. I'm Guessing it had a paper label at some time? There aren't any traces of an ACL, no paint, no etching. It's a 12 oz. The differences I've found between the RW&B and the R&W ACL bottles is this..the basket weave (above the ACL and below the stippling) is OVER/ON TOP OF the embossed PEPSI COLA on the swirls. The PEPSI COLA embossing is smooth on the other 2 ACL bottles. I really contrasted the close up so you can see the letters. ALSO the basket weave is at a different 'height' than the 2 ACL bottles. It doesn't line up with either of them. I'll put another pic on showing that. This looks a lot like the 12 oz syrup bottle I saw on here when I researched it tonight. I think I'm going to keep this one, unless I can retire by selling it? []
So anyone know what it is? And is it worth a million dollars?
Thanks everyone!

OK. Here's the pic of the 3 bottles lined up. See how the basket weave is not lined up with the 2 ACL bottles? The stippling above the swirls runs from the top of the basket weave & swirls to the bottom of the um, crown?....the part ya drink outta. LOL
The bottom of the bottle has:
OES PAT.120,277
14B44
9 next to the Owens-Illinois mark
Duraglas

OH, I have another unlabeled Pepsi bottle. (no pic) It is Just Like the old R&W ACL bottle w/the exception of the base and body are smaller around than the R&W ACL bottle. Any ideas?

Thanks all

Good old paper label Pepsi from the forties I believe . I do not believe you have much of a chance of retiring on it though ! My opinion four to five bucks . Then too , if it had the labels on it , it would be worth quite a bit more .

if you didn't notice the one pepsi with out the paper label is the older of the three. then the one on the left is a double dot acl . and the youngster of the bunch is the single dot on the right . having a good paper label would be an excellent desplay of the three .

It's a 1944 paper label bottle. The more desirable ones are bottles with the town name embossed on the bottom as well, they still aren't worth much even then. I usually don't pay more than five bucks for these, if that.

Well Darn...I'll have to keep looking for that golden egg! LOL THANK YOU KIND PEOPLE for your help! So the basket weave over the embossing is the norm for the paper label bottles? I know there aren't any of those in Dad's bottle pile. Bugs and moisture took care of that years ago in the garage.
I did just get to the back of one of the bedrooms yesterday and found a plastic 6-pack 'Enjoy Coca-Cola' carrier..Return bottles for deposit. It holds the 1 fatty bottle I have (1 litre). From research, I think the Enjoy was from 2000. Anyone know if I'm correct?
Does anyone know when they Stopped doing return for deposit bottles? I thought it was long before 2000, but then nobody is payin me to think today.[]
Since I'm taking up room anyway..I also found a plastic 6-pack SPRITE carrier for King Size bottles...any idea what a King Size bottle is?..only Sprite bottles I have here are little no returns.
OH! I found a neat pharmacy bottle in the dirt! I'll post a pic on the other bottle forum after I gently clean it up. I'm excited. It will look good on my shelf.

I like the bottle with the texture on the PEPSI lettering. I don't recall seeing one like it.

I found one simular to that one earlier today. Only mine has:

DES. PAT. 120,277
14A47-7

It also does not have the Owen-Illinois mark, but a B where it would have been if it were there. Any ideas to why on that? I am putting a pic up with it so you can see what mine looks like. Its also label-less.
