Vintage Coca-Cola Contour Glass Bottle
This is a vintage 6.5-ounce Coca-Cola contour glass bottle, often referred to as a 'hobbleskirt' bottle. It is crafted from thick, translucent 'Georgia Green' glass and features the iconic fluted design that became the trademark look for the brand. The bottle displays the embossed 'Coca-Cola' script logo on the shoulder, with additional embossed text below stating 'TRADE MARK REGISTERED IN U.S. PAT. OFFICE.' The bottle is topped with a red crimp-style metal crown cap, which appears to have some rust or oxidation on the top surface. The body of the glass shows signs of significant age and use, including visible surface scuffing, 'case wear' around the midsection from being transported in wooden crates, and a prominent brownish stain or residue on the interior or exterior surface on the right side. There are also small inclusions or particles visible inside the glass. This specific design and embossing style suggest mid-20th-century production, likely between the 1940s and 1960s. The overall condition is considered good-to-fair for a weathered collectible, showing authentic patina and characteristic wear from returnable use.
