I'm trying to date this Coca Cola bottle. From what I've gathered this is a Coke product not Coca Cola. Any help would be appreciated.

Does the base have anything like this mark on it:
<(I)>
If so, is there a number to the right? If it is only a 1-digit number, does it have a period after it or not.
There is nothing on the bottom of the bottle or on the sides. Only thing on there is Coca Cola Bottling Co Sandersville GA
Well, that pretty much eliminates Owen-Illinois as the manufacturer, and as there are no other marks then a specific year is almost impossible (some glasshouses put date-codes on bottles).
Sandersville was never a big town, albeit most towns had a bottling plant. As you know, this bottle was from the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. and was used for other flavours of drink.
The style is an art-deco style, circa the 1920s-1950s, but mostly seen in 1930s and 1940s. It is very similar to a bottle that I have, which is dated to 1937.
I'd say you solved his mystery SpiritBear.
Now I actually have a coke bottle I saved, but it's not that old. I only saved it because it was made/bottled in the oldest city...St, Augustine. Fl.
This ones much prettier.
