<p>[QUOTE="TheOLdGuy, post: 134110, member: 878"] <ul> <li>G (stylized capital G inside a square, <i>as shown in accompanying pic)……………</i>Gamer Packaging, Minneapolis, MN. (1987-to date). Gamer Packaging is a distributor/wholesaler of glass bottles as well as other types of packaging including plastic and metal containers. Some items are manufactured directly by them, others by arrangement with other companies. Gamer apparently has an arrangement with Ardagh Group (which includes former Anchor Glass manufacturing plants) to supply glass bottles to their customers. Although Ardagh is mentioned on the official Gamer site, other unnamed glass firms might also supply some bottles sold by/through Gamer Packaging. It is unclear exactly where any particular bottle with this “G” mark might have been made, but possibly at any of the Ardagh glassmaking plants (9 locations in the US, see list under Anchor, page one), or other unspecified glass companies located in Asia, specifically, China. The bottle with this particular mark (shown) was sold by Fentimans (<a href="http://www.drinkfentimans.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.drinkfentimans.com/" rel="nofollow">DrinkFentimans.com</a>).</li> </ul><p>As a maybe.
