These bottles are all ABM with a height of 7 3/4" and have the familiar hobble-skirt design. They were produced from 1928 to 1938. The front side of these bottles is embossed with: Coca-Cola TRADE MARK REGISTERED BOTTLE PAT'D DEC, 25 1923. and the rear side is embossed with: Coca-Cola TRADE MARK REGISTERED MIN CONTENTS 6 FL. OZS.
I think those are reproductions because all 1923 coca-cola repro bottles say its made in dec, 25 1923. if The bottle cap siads coca-cola classic, then its repro. a real one would say "coke" on it.
My son,age 16 has started collecting Coke bottles. anothe way to help detirmine age is wear. The old bottles were cleaned and refilled and show alot of wear from rattling around in the cases. Your look pretty smooth for originals? if they are originals they should have cork in the top of the bottle caps. with clear bottles you might be able to see
I am 90% sure just by the photo (the relief of the embossing is very shallow) that these are simply the reproduction bottles that were in the X-mas 6 packs a few (maybe 5 or 6 ) years ago.
