Wow this is so cool Canada Man. Figured Latin America would have one but Norway having one is awesome. So now possibly other European countries might have produced the 7up swimsuits as well. Great find and thanks for sharing.
Thanks Canada Man. Just being new in the bottle business (Well mainly) and not really knowing what goes on out there made me question it. But thinking through it more, all what you said makes perfect sense to me. Thanks again for the good comment.
Thanks a bunch Iggy. Yeah just looked unusual to me since I've never seen the date stamp on the bottom looking out of place like this bottle is. Feel alot better now, thanks again Iggy.
Hey Mr. Canada Man. You said earlier that you were able to find a 7up swimsuit from Puerto Rico. So I'm attaching pics of a 7up swimsuit from Puerto Rico that I won in an auction off of Ebay recently and was wondering if you can tell me if my bottle is a fake or not. The number 8 on the bottom...

Hey Bob, just reading your chat here on bottles and crates from Bakersfield back in the early 40's and I have this 7up bottle from Bakersfield that I've attached dated 1948. It shows the Fresh Up in the The Fresh Up Drink quote as being bolded, italicized, and underlined on the back label. Just...
Yeah, never seen or heard about it back in the 70's when I first started collecting these and researching on Ebay and finding nothing for sale or sold is starting to tell me that it was either very limited or not distributed overseas back in the forties. Hope I'm wrong, would love to see one...
Just started to collect 7 up swimsuit bottles again and was wondering if anyone knows if any 7 up swimsuit bottles pre-1953 were produced in other countries besides the US, Canada, Mexico and if so if any exist today. I noticed some that I saw on Ebay were made after the swimsuit was...
