    I was talking the other day to some one that said they had a bunch of old coke bottles. I was telling them how to look for the dates and that the rarer bottles will have smaller city names on the bottom. They asked me how I knew so much about old bottles. I said well there’s this guy I watch on TH-cam…you teach us so much about old bottles and I thank you.

    I scanned your posts, comments, but did not see anyone comment on the "vase parts" you kept referring to early on in your video. My personal take is that it is two different lamp parts, the bottom, which had a hole in it for the electric cord, and the top piece you called a lid, that was the top where the socket would be mounted. Just my two cents worth Brandon. Keep on a hunting, and good Luck with finding the Hutch bottle!

    SB&GCo - Streator Bottle & Glass Co., Streator, Illinois (1881-1905)
    The Streator Bottle & Glass Co. had a very straight forward history from its opening in 1881 to its merger with other glass houses to form the American Glass Co. in 1905. The business was successful from the beginning, specializing in beer bottles but making a variety of other containers. Although the plant only used a single logo to mark its products, those appear in several variations.

    The Kerr Economy and Kerr Self Sealing jars were developed in 1903 by Alexander H. Kerr of San Francisco, who founded the Hermetic Fruit Jar Company that year. The Kerr Glass Manufacturing Company survived the April 1906 San Francisco earthquake (and fires) due to all its sand around the plant. Embossed Economys and Self Sealings were produced in the 1903-1930 period.

    Hey Brandon, have you ever considered probing the creek for bottles? I’ve done this in muddier creeks and found 1923s, early 1900s beers, and plenty more. You should give it a try, also you probe into deeper pockets of water that are harder to see as well as using it for a depth gage. It also if in water you can’t see scares off animals and turtles that are in front of you when using it to see the water depth.

    • @adventurearchaeology

    Most Coke bottles (although not all) bear a glass manufacturer’s mark (logo, emblem, trademark, or initials) somewhere on the bottle, that may help to identify what glass company made it. In general, glass manufacturers’ marks are usually seen on the base, but sometimes appear on the side or lower heel of the bottle. In many instances (especially in the case of Owens-Illinois Glass Company bottles), the glass manufacturers’ logo is in combination with a year date code and mold number.
    There is a common misconception that the city name marked on the bottom indicates where the bottle was actually made. In general, the city or town name, in most cases, has nothing to do with the location where the bottle itself was manufactured. The city name usually indicates the location where a local soda bottling concern or distribution center was situated, and where the bottles were supposed to be originally circulated.
    Some of the larger glass manufacturing companies, such as Owens-Illinois Glass Company and Chattanooga Glass Company, made Coca-Cola bottles (and other soda bottles) for HUNDREDS of different cities around the United States.
    State of Ohio registration listing (unknown publication date)
    Legal entity THE DAYTON COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY is a business company registered in the Register of State Ohio with the Entity Number 43232 under the legal form of CORPORATION FOR PROFIT. The company was written into the database at 15th January 1917 and its current status is Dead.
    The recent company reincarnation is the Dayton Coca Cola Bottling Company (and Distribution Warehouse) founded in 2010 by state records.
    So this hobble skirt patented in 1915 could be as early as 1917-late 1920s.
