    Thank you so much for all the info! I will def have to check out Mr.Lockharts article! That seems like a wealth of information! The swimsuit girl does have both her feet but I think I may have been kinda hiding it with my hand on accident hehe. $10 is pretty good for something I found by...

    Tips for digging in southern Florida.

    That's what I was thinking, there seems to be way more history up there. Too bad I'm not up that way too often lol. I'll def be keeping my eyes out whenever I am​ up there though!

    Tips for digging in southern Florida.

    So, I'm very new to bottle hunting (very new as in; found 2 bottles while on vacation last week and is now hooked) and I really want to get more into it. The 2 bottles I found were found almost 700 miles from where I live, and there is a pretty big difference between where I live and where I...

    Awesome! Thanks for confirming that hehe. This is the first bottle I've found and I think it would look pretty weird to me if I find a 7up with red after this lmao

    Now THAT'S very interesting. So, is it likely that it did​ have red pigment but that just faded already?

    1942 7up value

    Ah, that would make sense! I read somewhere that Owens Illinois used a dot next to the number to the right of the logo on the base to indicate it was a 40s bottle, before changing their date code format again later down the road. Would you, or anyone here, know if this is true?

    It’s a 1942! From my understanding; from 1942-1945 there was no red anywhere on the ACL since red pigments were needed for war efforts. There’s a scripted word embossed over the date code on the base of the bottle, is that the plant? Or is the “Athens, GA” the plant? I did find it not too far...

    Thanks Ivan! The bottle is (as far as I can tell) in pretty fair condition, and it's a 7 bubble. I posted pictures in another reply, and it's an Athens, Georgia variation.

    1 I'm not sure what condition this ACL would be considered, but I must say that I was very surprised to see that it was all there! The back of the bottle says Athens, Georgia, which isn't *too* far from where I found it. I cleaned it up a bit to get the layer of clay dust and stuff off of it...

    1942 7up value

    Hi! This is my first post here, I'm Ellie! I was in Georgia over the past week and i happened to find a old 1942 7up bottle in a creek near Cleveland. I'm cleaning it up and stuff but the ACL seems to be all intact with just some minor scratches. The date code is all there and easily readable...
