nope.. i looked at all those.. the words trademark registered are bigger under coca cola.. and the bottom is rounded under the bottom of the bottle with a hole.
mine is like a mixture of several of them.. but none are exact
nice find!
One of several versions of the 1950's bottle sign thermometer. Unusual to see the hanger still attached, for some reason many are broken off on this one. Thousands upon thousands of bottle thermos were churned out in the 50's, not unusual to see subtle variations depending on year and maker. Many survive in excellent or better condition today. Here's one like yours:

how long is the groove for thermometer to sit in? the ones i have of that design all measure 5"s
yes thats it daddy no bucks.. i just looked close and realized someone painted over the robertson on bottom.. the groove is 6 1/2" on it.. i think ill sell it.. in this condition not sure of price without thermometer too.

My Coke book shows it from the 1930's. The hanging loop on top is only on the 1930's version.
