Found at bottom of Massachusetts Lake - 1915 Coca-Cola Bottle

Cleaned up beautifully after these pictures. No scratches or chips and a beautiful deep blue color.

Nice! Love those 1915s. I'd guess from the color that it was probably blown at Laurens Glassworks in South Carolina. Look closely around the heel for any lettering.

Bottle is home now, I am at a camp until tomorrow. I will take a look, but I recall absolutely no lettering. Is that possible?

Here's what I was talking about, a 1915 with "L.G.W. 26" on the heel. This example also has Coca-Cola in script on the bottom. Some have it, some don't. Just wondering.

Just checked; absolutely no lettering. So, I estimate manufacture between 1917 and mid-1918.

Update: took a closer look at the base rim...there is lettering that states, very faintly, REED. A little research reveals 1920 manufacture date and explains the vivid blue color.
