I had previously posted finding a straight sided brown Coke bottle, and have just found another. This one was slightly different from the first. I don't have a digital camera yet (it's on the way), but have found links to photos that are identical to what I have found. The first bottle had the Coke inscription on the bottom

These were supposedly manufactured from 1902-1915.
The one I found today had the inscription at the top near the shoulder and are slightly newer, having been manufactured from 1910-1915. The one in this photo is blue-green, but mine is brown like the bottom script bottle.

Both were embossed with Chattanooga Tenn. as the filling site. This isn't suprising since I found them in the Tennessee river right in front of an old Coke bottling plant (the very first Coke bottling plant).
As soon as I get my camera, I'll repost with the actual photos.
