Coca-Cola bottles with a pinched waist are known as contour or “Hobbleskirt” bottles. All contour bottles have the familiar crown-top lip. (Bottle caps were once known as “crowns.”) Newer contour Coke bottles from the mid-1960s forward will normally have painted white labeling, as do some others from as early as 1957. The earliest of these will most often have small date marks (also known as date codes) embossed on the waist as two-digit numbers, followed closely by other number-letter-symbol combinations. For example, a bottle marked “74.22 © – 1” would have been manufactured in 1974. Numbers right of the date code, I believe, indicate the machine and/or mold used to make the bottle, and the letter or symbol in the middle represents the glass company that manufactured the bottle. During the 1980s Coca-Cola ended this practice of date-marking its bottles.

By observing the patent statement embossed just beneath the name “Coca-Cola” on the side of any contour Coke that is not a painted label bottle, one may quickly begin to date that bottle as being from one of the following five broad time periods.

· U.S. Pat. Office, 6 oz. (Embossed on Coke bottles issued 1951-1958.)

If a bottle is from one of the first three time periods listed above (1938-1965) there will likely be a small embossed date code found on the waist left or right of a letter or symbol. For instance, the number “42” on a bottle marked either “87 L 42” or “42 L 87” would denote a bottle made in 1942 during WWII.
