General Apathy Posted August 11, 2009 Share #35 Posted August 11, 2009 Hi Everyone on this thread, very interesting all of it, autorifle love your bottle collection, thanks for showing. Here's my one full bottle of coke and my 3 jan 44 dated Coke check ( cheque ) date, note the perforated date which I believe cancels the check on payment. This evening I will take a look at the bottle for any bottling plant information. The bottle does have a slightly 'blue ' haze to it. Notice I have hung a label on there so when I pop my clogs whoever sorts my stuff will hopefully not open it. Cheer ( Lewis ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeper704 Posted August 11, 2009 Share #36 Posted August 11, 2009 Interesting topic. I wonder how you can obtain these bottles as I like to include a couple in my collection. Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe45Smith Posted July 22, 2012 Share #37 Posted July 22, 2012 Hi all, few weeks ago I bought two Coca-Cola cork crowns which shoul be WWII. Previous owner lives in small city in Czech Republic, which was liberated in may 1945 by US Army and he told me, that they are from US Soldies.

AustYank Posted July 25, 2012 Share #38 Posted July 25, 2012 Hi Fellas, This is a really interesting topic,can i ask you what the date of my bottles are. They were dug up here in Brisbane Australia,near to where there was a US Camp in WW2. One is a Green Bottle with "Oakland Calif "stamped on the bottom.The patent number is D-105529.There is also a stamp at the thinnest part of the skirt which reads 8 (symbol) 44 The other dug from the same location,is a clear bottle, It has Patent number of D-105529 and 8A (symbol) 44 The Symbol looks like a Circle with a flatter circle across it,the best i can describe it is,it looks like a picture of Saturn ? Thanks if you can help :thumbsup: Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeper704 Posted July 25, 2012 Share #39 Posted July 25, 2012 They're from 1944. If I remember correctly, the number before the symbol is the lot number, the symbol itself denotes the maker. Correct me if I'm wrong please as this is important information. Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkdriver Posted July 25, 2012 Share #40 Posted July 25, 2012 Brian, is it possible that the reason your bottling plant didn't have any blue bottles is that the straight sided blue bottles were made and discontinued before it's construction? From what I can find, the blue was predominantly used in the early part of the century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1johnny Posted August 2, 2012 Share #41 Posted August 2, 2012 Here is a (WWII) Coca-Cola bottle I recovered form the old 'Desert Training Center/California Arizona Maneuver Area'. It's dated 10-42, El Centro California, bottle pat. D-105529. I also found many bottle caps-Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola & Creme Soda. A bit rusted, but the detail can be made out.

Darktide Posted August 3, 2012 Share #47 Posted August 3, 2012 Found this one in the ruins of the destroyed YMCA building on Corregidor Island "The Rock". Date on the bottle is Dec. 25, 1923. We found close to 10 of these. A friend told me that these were called "Christmas Cokes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
