Description

Color: Green An empty Coca-Cola glass bottle, ca. 1920s. The clear bottle with a tinge of green color is the classic shape with fluted sides and the script name of the company at the center on two sections. Below the name in one area is "TRADE MARK REGISTERED / MIN CONTENTS 6 FL. OZS," while below the name in the other section is "TRADE MARK REGISTERED / BOTTLE PAT'D DEC 25, 1923." On the bottom are the words "LOS ANGELES / CALIF." indicating where the bottle was produced. There is a double-lipped mouth and the fluting is on either end of the center stamping where the name is. On one side near the bottom is a triangle with the letters "IPC" within it and the numbers "31" or "37" and "16" flanking it. Almost directly across from this at the bottom of the other side is an unknown brown residue on the surface. Aside from this and a few scratches, the bottle is in good condition.
