I just heard from the seller and he said the lip is marked with a V

V=1950

I briefly educated him about ghost images and politely told him that his bottle is not WWII era.

Hey, Rick / iggy

How's about posting some Front/Back/Base pictures of your 1941 bottle. I'll use it to create a timeline of the 1941 through 1945 (WWII era) bottles to see them all in one place. I'll have to double check and make sure I have a picture of a 1945 bottle, but if I don't I should be able to find one, or else you can post a 1945 if you have one.

Thanks

Bob

I will. It should be here tomorrow. I will also have to dig out my 7up's from crates to check them.

I got the 1941 bottle today. I will post it this week with another very rare 7up I just got also. A coworker picked it up at a garage sale for me. I can't believe I got it!

Hey, iggy

If you think I'm waiting a whole week to see what you describe as a "very rare" 7up bottle, well, I got news for you. You know I'm kidding when I say this, but if it takes more than three days, I'm sending out the bloodhounds because I know where you live! ;)

Hey, Rich

I've also been looking around for a 1943 7up bottle but can't find one anywhere! But make no mistake, there are ample examples of other 1943 soda bottles because I've seen pictures of them. But for some unknown reason I just can't find a 1943 7up. I wonder why?

May have another clue to add.

I just picked up this bottle at a local shop and started to research it. I stumbled upon this thread and realized it is a 1943 8 dot bottle (with 7 dots on the neck). Thought you all would want to see it.
