You really need to look at a collector's guide to be certain. There are many ones on the subject of Coca-Cola memorabilia. One of those guides will help you cross-reference the information mentioned and other info such as the bottle size.
Some things that would signal a newer bottle would include screw cap, UPC code, nutritional label, deposit info, and the such...

regrettably, the in straightforward words position that you'll purchase a pitcher Coca Cola bottle is in an old keep and the bottles there are frequently empty. each once in a lengthy time period the Coca Cola employer will promote Coke in glass bottles yet no longer very frequently. for most, many years all pops have are available both cans or plastic bottles.

Based on your description, you have a 6 ounce Coca-Cola contour-shaped bottle from 1953. Check the embossed lettering at the waist of the bottle, does it say:
"US PATENT OFFICE/MIN CONTENTS 6 FL OZ"
Coke bottles with the above lettering were produced from 1951 to 1958.
In general, you look for:
(1) glass - thickness, uniformity
(2) embossed or painted lettering -
Here's a dating guide for the embossed letterings:
1917-1928 BOTTLE PAT'D. NOV 16 1915
1928-1938 BOTTLE PAT'D. DEC 25 1923
1938-1951 BOTTLE PAT. D-105529
1951-1958 US PATENT OFFICE/MIN CONTENTS 6 FL OZ
1958-1965 US PATENT OFFICE/MIN CONTENTS 6 1/2 FL OZ
Beware that there were replicas of the BOTTLE PAT'D. DEC 25 1923 bottles made in 1989 - these you can distinguish by looking for 89 embossed toward the lower waist of the bottle and the glass are more uniform than the original ones.
Also you will find a 2 pairs of 2-digit code as you mentioned. One of them is the year code - the 53 is what I used as a clue that it was from 1953.
I hope this helps!

Hey, yes it should be a real one, but its not really worth a lot, but still is nice to have a antique coca-cola bottle.
