This is what they looked like before: the bottle on the left has, as Steve@Advance has pointed out, raised lettering on the bottom rim indicating that the bottle was made for the San Angelo, Texas, bottling company. It does not have the raised Coca Cola script at the bottom of the neck, but it does have a Texas star.
The other bottle has the name of my town, Shreveport, Louisiana on the bottom rim, but it also has the Coke script at the top. Apparently the individual bottlers had some leeway as to how they wanted their bottles designed.
I too remember the nickle cokes and the various reconfigurations and regenerations of the vending machines. Remember the ones where you had to snake the neck of the bottle through a series of long slots to get it to the release chute? I believe this was Nehi's machine; they offered lots of flavors in 12 oz. bottles. If your flavor was situated between other flavors, you had to do a Rubic's Cube maneuver to get your drink in the right position.
Coke's machine was proprietary to its own bottles, as I recall. At some point it was reconfigured to dispense the taller 12-oz. hourglass bottle. I am supposing the 12-oz. size was offered in response to competition from the larger drinks--RC, Nehi, Big Chief, etc., which were already in 12 oz. Coke, Grapette, and Dr. Pepper originally had just 6 oz., I think.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
