    60's Bubble Up bottle with Tab cap

    Having the wrong cap happened quite often, but having it end up leaving the bottling plant was rarer. I remember when working in the plant seeing a few, I snagged a Pepsi bottle with a beer cap (Labbatt's 50) and still have it. It wasn't a matter of similar products in the same factory, more...

    7up 'Odd Logo"

    Those 1.5 litre glass bottles (the dot logo) were terrible. I'm surprised any lasted this long, they were going off like bombs in the bottling plant, all shift long at Gray Beverage when I worked there. When they came out (1977 if I recall) they gave us yellow T-shirts with a giant bottle logo...

    Let's wrap this up!.. Crush tropical punch?

    I wonder where you can get it. Still listed on the Crush website.

    Let's wrap this up!.. Crush tropical punch?

    Great collection! I thought that New York Seltzer was gone years ago, but I just saw some in the store a couple weeks ago. I remember drinking Cream Soda crush right off the line at Gray Beverage over forty years ago...Grapefruit Crush was my favourite though.

    7up- 1953-1986 Canada

    You're correct, that picture on the 30th crown is Abe. I have two of those bottles, I was at the gala 30th anniversary event that Gray Beverage threw at the Hotel Vancouver and they handed them out there; everyone had a bottle sitting in front of them on the table. They were empty by the way...

    7up- 1953-1986 Canada

    To be honest Canadacan...I've never heard of Blackwood's before so can't help with that. Gray Beverage operated in the West with bottling plants in Victoria, Vancouver (later moved to Delta) Kamloops and Edmonton. Might have had others, I wasn't there after early 1978. PM me your email, I'll...

    7up- 1953-1986 Canada

    Hi Canadacan, mine is 1977 for sure, I was working at the plant when it was bottled. The reason that the label is different from your sample is because yours was the regular commercial label whereas mine was the 'FREE SAMPLE' version. It didn't even have any French language on it and no...

    7up- 1953-1986 Canada

    Here's one that I haven't seen you post yet. It's from 1977, commemorating when 7-UP outsold Coke and Pepsi in the Vancouver market. This was labelled as a free sample, using the non-refillable 170 ml bottles that were intended for cruise ships and airlines, not individual sales to the public.

    Niagara Dry - Pepsi

    Feel free to bump away - I had forgotten that I put that bottle up here in the first place. Thanks for the additional info! So I take it that the 30 oz. size isn't that unusual?

    Another 7up Thread ... But Different

    That's an interesting item to collect. The Japanese version looks like a bamboo handle, historically accurate no doubt. :)

    Another 7up Thread ... But Different

    Just a coincidence I'm sure, but your NP logo is similar to Nocking Point:

    Orange swimsuit bubble girl 7up

    Well, since there's now no chance to form a shelf collection of these orange swimsuit bottles, I'll offer only $25. I'm sure SODAPOPBOB will have lost interest entirely by now and has withdrawn his earlier offer. :)

    7up BOTTLES ~ OUTSIDE THE BOX

    That bottle hanger was my scan Bob, I put it up here a few years ago. Along with the other years, they were a promotional item that went out with the cases of 7-uP somewhere around 1977 when I was working at the bottling plant. The reason for the French is because it was a Canadian...

    7up BOTTLES ~ OUTSIDE THE BOX

    Wow, this is pretty interesting stuff, you're really sleuthing here! The largest swimsuit ads from your post #351 shows Sheila Terry in the bottom right modelling a suit, she was a small time actress who was in a couple of John Wayne films. After reading all this, I was looking for the...
