Somewhat of a mystery bottles set since I cannot find any information on the bottling company or mark. The first bottle is a blue tint bottle embossed with "LaPorte Bottling Works" with a stars design. Around bottom is LaPorte, Ind. / Contents 7 Fl ozs. / 1868 - 27 / on the bottom is embossed with large L & V with a number '1' over it and the "I" in diamond mark which is Illinois Glass Co. mark used 1915-1929. The other 2 bottles are clear glass with same stars design but with "Coca Cola Bottling Works" in block letters. Around the bottom is LaPorte, Ind. / Contents 7 Fl ozs. / no date like blue one / on the bottom is the same L & V mark - the worn one has no bottle maker mark but the code numbers 30 S, the other one has a Owens Illinois mark (O over a diamond with the I in the center - first used 1929) The Owens mark has a "9" to the left which is the plant code for Streator, Illinois (began 1930) and the number 1 to the right (1931?)
