Hi. I have a 32 fluid ounce brown glass bottle of Whiz Motor Rythm bottle. I am looking to date the manufacture date. I read a post by antiquerose123 who had an expert Today M do a dating of Dominion Glass dating. My bottle has, in a diamond layout, a 6070-A on top of centre of bottom of bottle. What appears to be a smaller B left of centre. The appropriate D in a diamond at centre. A 5 to right of centre. And below a big size 5. I cannot get a good picture of this, flash, no flash, but will attach the best I can. Thank you all for you help.

Hello
Welcome to the board. Sounds like your bottle was made in March/April (B to the left) 1945 (5 to the right). 6070-A is the mould number and the 5 below indicates the mould cavity number. Is there a dot adjacent to the diamond? If so, the position will tell which factory made the bottle - Point St, Charles to the left, Hamilton above, Wallaceburg to the right and Redcliff below.
If you have a macro setting on your camera, you may be able to get the bottom markings in focus.

Sid. Thank you so very much. I am attaching a better picture...I am not a shutter bug, but it does look better.
Thanks again.

That photo is much better. Unfortunately, I can't make out a dot but you have most of the information.
