New bottle, gang! - 8/29/2011 10:40:04 PM    Uncola   Posts: 21 Joined: 2/14/2010 From: Oregon Status: offline Hey I'm back with a new bottle I found at a flea market. It's 7-Up and has the slogan "You Like It, It Likes You", which, according to Wikipedia was used between 1936-52. It looks pretty new for a bottle that old. It says on the bottom "787 NW 66 NOT TO BE REFILLED 3", with the three being above the refilling part. Any way I could figure out when it was made (or, gasp, a reproduction)? _____________________________ 7-Up...the Uncola. Contact me if you have a old or semi-old 7-Up bottle, because I collect them.

Hey Chris, Welcome back. Whycome no photos? I think the slogan was used through at least 1968, if not longer Couldn't find the supposed '52 cutoff date via wiki-7up. "Back label #6 was apparently used for the entire life of non- swimsuit bottles, 1953 to ca. 1968. I have observed the labels on bottles from 1955 to 1964." From Bill Lockhart. If I were betting, and your transcription is accurate, I'd say 1966. (in reply to Uncola) Post #: 2

That's an NDNR, and if there's a date code amongst the numbers I'm guessing it's '78. You might post this in the Soda section for better, more knowledgeable responses. (in reply to Uncola) Post #: 6

We could go around and brandish broken slicks, threatening people who don't let us look under their porch or poke around their backyard. Yaaaarrr, beware the Bottle Gang!--Joe (in reply to surfaceone) Post #: 7
