7up Glass

Figured this may get more exposure here rather than unexpected discoveries. If this is wrong please feel free to move.

I came across this glass a while back but didn't think much of it because it looked to me like it came out of the 80's but I finally got around to looking at it closely and saw that it was made by the Continental Canning Company and it dates to I believe the 50's. It's part of a set that included a Pepsi, Dr Pepper and Coke I believe. Hazel Atlas also made a very similar set of glasses in the 60's I imagine after the companies came together, but theirs I believe were made of milk glass. I have only found one other duplicate of this glass online selling for around $25. I was wondering if that is the going price or what you guys think about it.

Wondering if Uncola knows of this glass set

1970s.

$25 for one a bit high.......maybe for the set of four in which it came.

Thanks for the info. Only finding the one other example kinda limited my knowledge of the piece. Shoulda figured Wet and Wild sounds a bit racy for the 50's lol. Need to do more research on CCC I thought they were merged with Hazel Atlas in the 60's.

According to their web site the use of "Uncola" started in 1967; so that should be the earliest possible date for the cup.

$25 for a plastic cup seems steep to me...

Also, CCC was bought out by CCS in 1990.

It's painted glass. I should have included a pic of the clear bottom with the CCC mark. Thank you for the link!

This is where I got the 50's thing and the price. Glad I brought it here for more info.

What I thought was the Hazel Atlas set is actually a CCC set. Should have read the description and not just the title. [8D]
