Hi guys,

I tried my best to find out how to date my bottle but I’m not sure if I have figured it out. Any help is appreciated. The bottle is a D patent from El Centro California. On the inside of the bottle I can see a 3 some sort of symbol and a 48. Im assuming it mean March 1948.

The date code (2-digit) is on the side right where the "bend" is. Here's how the ages break down: On the side under the script "Coca-Cola":

Nov.16, 1915 = made 1917-1928
Dec.25, 1923 ("Christmas" Cokes) = made 1928- 1938
Pat. D-105529 ("D-Patent") = made 1938-1951
U.S. PATENT OFFICE, etc. = made 1951-1958 then White painted script after that.

The bottle below would be 1936 and considered a "Christmas Coke".

Thanks guys. Looks like it is a March 1948. The date code is on the inside of the bottle. Not on the outside. I had to use a light to see it.
