Can you tell me where and when the bottle was made? We live near "Arnold Drive". Perhaps Hap Arnold had a beer on my property in 1948! I(t is the STORY that makes these items valuable.

I am not clear by your comment on whether or not you found the same bottle that we're talking about here -- we are talking about the bottles that have the WWII dates/graphics printed on them. <br /><br />The printing is what makes them valuable and interesting to collectors. <br /><br />Modern era plain bottles, with no painted labeling, just the embossed No Return, etc. are, sadly, of no real interest to anyone. Bottles have to have more going for them -- for example, with paper or painted or embossed labels naming specific brands or towns; or be antique hand blown bottles, flasks, figurals, especially in certain rare sizes, colors or shapes.<br /><br />So if you found these painted WWII dates label bottles that were actually sold/shipped overseas, that's very interesting. If you found plain unlabeled bottles, even though they are the same shape, that's a whole other animal.Findlay Antique Bottle Clubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16886342252862997476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8545920248670276701.post-18187563242578270962013-01-16T15:18:57.784-08:002013-01-16T15:18:57.784-08:00Hello, while on a recent vacation to the Island of...Hello, while on a recent vacation to the Island of Saipan north of Guam, I came acrose many of these bottles, also clear glass bottles, in the jungle and caves but without the graphics on it. I even found a larger sized one 750ml bottle with the same shape and "no return no deposit" "not to be refilled" cast into the glass. Im trying to do research on these and find out more info on them as well. The bottle you have looks almost like a commemorative bottle sold after the war. So these bottles were defiently sent to the war in the pacific for soldiers to drink, pretty unique bottles.

It's been in my family for as long as I can remember (I'm 62). The Society for Historical Archaeology web site indicates that the codes on the bottom shows that the bottle was made in Oakland, CA in 1947. This was where my family lived at that time. My mother always thought the bottle was special so that was why it was saved.<br /><br />http://www.sha.org/research_resources/newsletter_articles/lockhart.cfmWindStonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10790042226322141097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8545920248670276701.post-21244107640798540572011-09-10T22:01:17.531-07:002011-09-10T22:01:17.531-07:00Hello Again,

If anyone researches this bottle in the future, they will likely find this thread, and see that there is some interest, so I predict price and desirability will eventually increase -- perhaps not before your listing expires, though. But, hey, it's not always about the money. <br /><br />I know that you like the bottle too -- perhaps keeping it with your Dad's book and WWII memorabilia would be a good thing to do.<br /><br />Again -- thanks for reading and contributing.Findlay Antique Bottle Clubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16886342252862997476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8545920248670276701.post-50596880795522653262009-11-28T06:46:36.447-08:002009-11-28T06:46:36.447-08:00Photos are on the listing now, sorry for the delay...Photos are on the listing now, sorry for the delay.
