<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ZeeFinds, post: 4156757, member: 16546&quot;]I did a little searching this morning since I was in the middle of posting 30+ items to eBay yesterday. First off, the Owens-Illinois logo with the oval, diamond, and I is from 1929 to 1954. After 54 there&#039;s no diamond, just oval and I. So this bottle is an early one.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 6 and the 4 are coincidentally the same as a half-gallon in ounces. The left number is the plant code (Charleston, WV) and the right number is the date code for 1934 since it has no period after it. If the single-digit date code is followed by a period then it&#039;s from the 40s (194X). Then from 1947 on they used two digits for the date codes. The number 17 is a code for the form and in this case it means a half-gallon bottle.</p><p><br /></p><p>So if you get one with the diamond oval logo and a date code of 9 then is it &#039;29 or &#039;39?</p><p><br /></p><p>Great resource found here: <a href="http://thisoldbottle.com/bottle-id-owens-illinois-glass-company/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://thisoldbottle.com/bottle-id-owens-illinois-glass-company/" rel="nofollow">http://thisoldbottle.com/bottle-id-owens-illinois-glass-company/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m thinking start this at $50 auction and see how many are interested?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
