Item History & Price
PAT D 105529
WASHINGTON DCDated 1941
The first five versions of these hobble-skirt Cokes are identified by their embossing:"NOV.16 1915" were produced from 1917 to 1928."DEC. 25 1923" (called the "Christmas Cokes") were produced from 1928 to 1938. Must be careful since reproductions of the 1923 Cokes were produced in 1989. Easiest way to spot a repro is by looking at the base of the bottle. The... City/State letters are smaller on the repro. Repro also has a circular line joining the State and City names."PAT. D 105529" (called the "D-Patent Cokes") were produced from 1938 to 1951."US PATENT OFFICE / MIN CONTENTS 6 FL OZ" were produced from 1951 to 1958."US PATENT OFFICE / MIN CONTENTS 6 1/2 FL OZ" were produced from 1958 to 1965.Later hobble-skirt bottles (i.e. Dec 25 1923 patent and later) all have a green tint color. One exception are those produced during 1942-45; these were blue due to the copper shortage for WWII (copper gives the green color).Contact me with any questions. I will combine shipping if you are interested in multiple items.
