    Some updated information with special thanks to bottle-bud.
    This is a Circle A Soda bottle. It was made by the Owens-Illinois Glass Co. at the Los Angeles (San Bernardino) plant. This bottle is from 1939.

    From a local antique shop. Thought this bottle had some interesting molding plus it was from San Bernardino. As I live in the San Bernardino National Forest and Bernardino city is just at the bottom of the hill I tend to collect San Bernardino.
    Alost all the printing is missing from the bottle but is does have the A in a circle near the top . The only printing left is an "HC".
    The bottom of the bottle says "Dr Pepper Bottling Co" and San Bernardino. There is also a diamond and oval mark sort of like the Owens-Illinois Glass Co.
    Looks like unsolved mystery time.

      Oops I forgot to hit the Unsolved Mystery button which I usually hit by accident.

      This bottle would have been a Circle A soda. Do a quick search for Circle A bottles and you will see the embossed A in a circle on similar bottles.

      Thank you very much bottle-bud for solving the mystery. Do you know how old it is? It has a 23 on the bottom.

      I see the diamond/oval/I on the bottom of the bottle and this would indicate she was made by the Owens Illinois Glass Co. The # 23 tells us that is was made at the Los Angeles, Ca. factory. The number to the right I can't quite make out looks like a 9? If it is a nine this would tell us the date of manufacture is 1939. If there is a dot to the right of the number this tells us its 1949.

      Thank you very much again bottle-bud. It is a 9 with no dot so 1939. I did note the Owen Illinois Mark.
      Thank you again.
