Your bottle was not made in Galveston. It was made by the Owens-Illinois Glass Company in Streator, Illinois, sometime between 1930 & 1971. The Dr. Pepper on the bottom refers to the bottling plant, not the bottle contents.
Thank you, I have made the changes.
Let me rephrase my last sentence. The bottle could have had DP in it, but it could just as easily had other drinks and it had a paper label at one time. The bottling plant probably bottled several soft drink flavors, hence the absence of side embossing, just use one bottle for all of it.
