The bottle may date from the 1920s or 1930s, but the date "Dec. 25, 1923" is the date the patent on the bottle shape was registered.
I found a Coca-Cola Bottle and it may not be an old bottle. Only the shape on the bottle and that is says REG US PAT on it, an any paper label that may have been on the bottle could have said Coca-Cola. No date on it. The bottom of the bottle has some numbers and don't have a way of figuring the code?

It does also in the mold says CONTENTS 12oz.

I have had some one tell me that Coca-Cola using cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup, made in Mexico, called Mexican Coca-Cola, and exported and sold in the United States, may be a bottle that was this in particular.

In a market I saw the 4 pack of 12oz Mexican Coca-Cola bottles. They look like what I found in shape, but no code of sort like I have attached the picture of the bottom of the bottle I found river diving.

Any thoughts?

The design / details of Coke bottles has a long and interesting history - the most valuable version sold not too long ago for $6000.00 U.S.! I would visit the Coca-Cola website to see the details of the version you found.
 
I went to Rosalita's Restaurant in Homestead Florida, where along with my mexician tacos, I ordered a soda. Made in Mexico with cane sugar. Much better tasting, less sweet, if I recall correctly. Still have the bottle.

Available at your local Costco by the pallet and is a must with the Bulleit bourbon available in the next aisle in a "family size" bottle.

Most supermarkets near me, including Kroger and Publix, have a some made-in-Mexico bottled Coca Cola tucked away somewhere--sometimes in the Mexican/international food aisle rather than the beverage aisle. Doesn't surprise me that Costco stocks them.
 
Found a GoPro and was able to return it to the owner. Turns out the dive guide I was with, knew the guy had lost it a few weeks prior, and we were able to verify it was his.
