Has anybody seen these type of soda bottles before? the back of the bottles say "bottled by the authority of the Moxie Company Needham heights Mass, did this company make these bottles one at a time?, because these bottles do not match at all, as you can see in the pic, one is taller than the other, and the necks are bent in different places too. any info would be helpful Thanks.

What you have is a stretched bottle. I have a friend that use to do these in the crafts shows in the 1980's. They were hung in a kiln and fired, when they reached a high enough tempeture to melt the glass they would drop to the botom of the kiln. It is a shame they ruined two good and collectible moxie bottles.
Thanks rocker-sd for the info on these bottles
