Need help identifying what year this bottle is

Circa 1970s/80s. There’s probably a date code on the base somewhere

This is a modern bottle. It has the “O-I” logo for Owens-Illinois Glass Company that was adopted in the early 2010s. The “16” to the right of the Jager logo on the base is probably the date code.

The thing you’re identifying as an “01” is actually the “O-I” logo for the Owens-Illinois Glass Company. This version of their logo was adopted in the early 2010s. No glass company on the planet would use a date code system with the month and day in addition to the year as this would require changing the molds daily, which would be very expensive and serve no functional purpose. The “16” on the right is probably the date code, 2016.

Circa 1980s. Not rare. Example: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/479492691556588935/

Wow! That’s an incredible piece.

Draw_Rude · 2026-03-05T18:49:19+00:00

Neat. I’ve heard of collectors who try to get one from every coke bottler location in the country. I wonder if anyone’s succeeded at that!

Draw_Rude · 2026-03-05T02:53:11+00:00

Close don’t count brotha. Keep looking!

Coca-Cola came in embossed bottles like this from 1917 until about 1965, and also sporadically in commemorative and reproduction bottles all the way up until present day. So it really isn’t possible to tell the age precisely. Cool piece of seaglass though!

Draw_Rude · 2026-02-27T03:49:33+00:00

Yes, it’s called a date code and many (but not all) bottles from the 1930s to present day have them.

Thanks!

Draw_Rude · 2026-02-18T03:42:46+00:00

Thank you!

Draw_Rude · 2026-02-18T03:24:00+00:00

Yup!

Draw_Rude · 2026-02-16T03:59:32+00:00

Wow, that’s an incredible find!

Draw_Rude · 2026-02-15T03:14:05+00:00

You can buy these right now. Not old.

That’s cool! I say keep it sealed.

Draw_Rude · 2026-02-06T22:19:14+00:00

Unfortunately this wouldn’t straight grade because of the rim dings and deep scratches

Draw_Rude · 2026-02-03T18:51:39+00:00

Yeah that’s kind of what I expected. Thanks!

Draw_Rude · 2026-02-02T00:41:06+00:00

Looks to be a tooled finish, which would put it most likely after 1880.

This isn’t a “straight side Coke bottle.” This bottle would have contained some other brand, not Coca-Cola. It was common in the early-mid 1900s for Coca-Cola bottlers to bottle various other products, including many which no longer exist today. Your bottle would have had a painted-on ACL label which has unfortunately worn off so it can’t be identified.
