Straight Sided bottle

[Rich in Houston]

Looking to ID straight sided bottle with embossed horizontal line around shoulder. Crown top. Embossed with "Property of Coca-Cola Bottling Co" and "6 1/2 Flu ozs Houston, TEX" near bottom. And "C C" on the bottom. It is Clear. I think it's 1900-1910ish but I want to know if it was coke, another flavor or water.. Thank you

Yeah that would be interesting. Unfortunately it's been returned to the earth a long time ago.

It didn't hold another flavor because of the script embossing, it couldn't have, it was a Coca Cola regulation. Coke bottlers who bottled other drinks had to use cursive embossing for other flavors, that answers your question...

This is a Coca Cola bottle that held another flavor besides Coke, notice it doesn't have script Coca Cola on it....

You are right on the time line except that the straight sided bottle was made from 1900-1915. I guess that is 1910ish!
