Straight-sided Coca-Cola bottle that was most likely manufactured between 1900 and 1920. Glass contains a handful of seed bubbles and possesses an attractive green hue. Retains some traces of dirt/minerals that remained after what was my only cleaning of the bottle after I found it last month (April 2024).

 

Measures 7.25 inches tall. Below the shoulder it is embossed “Coca-Cola” in the familiar script, below which it reads “TRADEMARK REGISTERED”. Below that, about an inch up from the bottom, is “DURHAM, N. C.” On the heel are the somewhat faint letters “O B CO”.

Centered on the base of the bottle is the number “1278”, under which is a vertical mark; under the vertical mark, and blending into the rim, is another faint “1278”.
