Bromo Seltzer Cobalt Blue Bottle

Billnpatty

I have a 4" Bromo Seltzer Bottle with a #2 on the bottom. However, it's reversed (reads good from inside the bottle). There is a circle around the number 2 that looks like it was added. It appears to have been machine made, as it has seams on both sides all the way to the top. Just wondering if anyone has seen something like this. (Sorry about the quality of my pictures, I'm not real good at this).

It is not that unusual to see reversed writing on molds, especially on base markings. I can say that most body markings in "mirror writing" date a bit earlier than this bottle.

This bottle was produced in great quantity so you can be sure that the manufacturer had many different molds to meet the production requirements.
