I recently acquired an older paper label 7 oz 7UP bottle. With all the "reproduction" labels available for sale I'm concerned about the authenticity of the bottle (if the bottle is the same time period as the labels) The glass manufacturer markings on the bottom of the bottle appear to be an intertwined "VS" with the number 2 below the "VS" and the number 64 above the "VS". There is also a very small square logo that looks like a maze (I tried uploading a couple pics but keep getting error message file size too big) I haven't been able to find any information on that marking (glass manufacturer or approximate age) Can anyone help? Thanks!

Your 7up bottle appears to have been made by "Glenshaw Glass" in 1964.

The VS / SV might be the bottler. ???

See references to "Glenshaw Glass"

Thanks for the info sodapopbob! The article mentions on "most" Glenshaw bottles a letter appears beneath the lip. There is no letter on the lip of this bottle.

Bob's right it's a Glenshaw bottle, the VS or SV isn't the bottle maker but most likely the bottler...

Your's is a 64 which is after they stopped dating them on the lip...

By the way, welcome to the forum.

Can we please see a picture of the paper label? I suspect its a reproduction.

Thanks.
