I found this bottle on a canoeing trip in Indiana with my cousins and some aunts and uncles. We stopped at a shore to eat lunch so i wandered off and found this bottle completely buried in the sand. I don't know if rivers or Indiana have any relevance to this bottle but i thought that would be a little bit of useful info. Anyway, i have looked online for fanta bottles like this one for a long time and had no luck. It has an obvious seam line in the middle, with identical imprints on either side. It is embossed with tons of tiny dots all the way up to the neck. At the top it says "contents" and underneath "10 FL. OZ" This is on both sides. Underneath this there is "fanta" and underneath "trade-mark (registered trademark symbol)" These are surrounded by an embossed trapezoid shape with a downward curve at the top. again this is on both sides. And under that, right above the base of the bottle it says "no deposit" and on the other side "no return". finally on the bottom of the bottle it says, "not to be refilled" then on the opposite side "8 | 67" right in the middle on the bottom is the copyright symbol. I have no idea what this bottle is or if it is worth anything! Thanks!
The C in circle on the bottom is not a copyright mark © - it is the manufacturers mark for the Chattanoooga Glass Company (used 1927 to 1988) - the number 67 is the year date code for 1967 and the 8 is an internal factory code number (either the actual glass factory or a mold number)
Thanks for the info! I will look into this some more to try and find more. As for the bottle, is it a mass produced piece? I am mostly confused why i cant find any bottles identical to it anywhere.
