"Culminating an 18-month battle that entangled industry, federal regulators, the courts, and environmental groups, Food & Drug Administration commissioner Donald Kennedy last week issued a final order banning the use of plastic soft drink bottles made with acrylonitrile. Kennedy declared the bottles unsafe because unreacted plastic monomer can leach into the bottles' contents."
"The FDA action is a big blow to Monsanto, which developed and first marketed the bottle in 1975. The 32-oz acrylonitrile/styrene copolymer container, which Monsanto calls Cycle Safe, was used primarily by Coca-Cola to sell its popular beverage in 12 states. Coke, of course, can resort to traditional soft drink containers, but Monsanto is stuck with a lot of unused bottles and a hefty capital investment in plant and equipment."
"FDA originally ordered the plastic bottles off the market in March, but Monsanto sought and won a federal appeals court decision forcing the agency to start administrative proceedings on the safety of ...."

Coca-Cola "Easy Goer" Lightweight 32 Oz. Plastic Bottle
Paper Labeled
Considered to be a
"POISON BOTTLE"

Some borrowed to educate history;
Quoted from The Morning Record - June 2, 1976
"The Easy Goer plastic bottle for coca cola now is available to consumers in Connecticut, Paul Roberts, Jr., general Manager of the Coca Cola Bottling Co. of NY, Connecticut Division has announced.
The lightweight 32 oz plastic bottle has a straight-wall shape and features a wide mouth for easier pouring. Bottles are being supplied by Monsanto Company from it's plant in South Windsor, Ct.
"We are excited about this new package," Roberts said. - "We feel this bottle represents an important advancement in soft drink packaging. Major consumer benefits include the bottle's light weight, toughness and environmental advantages," Roberts added.
The new plastic bottle weighs only an eighth as much as a comparable size non-refillable glass bottle. When filled, it weighs 25 percent less than a filled one-way glass bottle of the same size.
"The Easy-Goer bottle is tough, reducing the possiblility of breakage. If breakage does occur, however, the bottle usually breaks safely into a few large pieces which would not be likely to cut," Roberts said.

Emerald Green Coca-Cola Club Seltzer Bottle
with 10 flat sides

Note the Etching Over the Original Etching

I would call this a "Transition" Seltzer.
As can be seen in images, the town/city has been etched or ground out. So we can assume, that it was at this time period, that the company either changed hands, or went defunct.
Recycling or re-using the bottle.
From what I can make out, this seltzer originated in Pennsylvania, as there is a PA as the last two letters that were ground out. The last letter of the township or city, is an "R" that can be seen.
There are various dings, wears etc., mostly at the high points, the worst being under the "W" in Works.
All and all, it's not that serious. And so I'll still call it the 8 range. No cracks. 

MEASURES; 10 1/4" tall
CONDITION; 8 -  [has various dings/wears]
SPB #067
PRICE; $285.00
S/H/I; $20.00
