saw this online , fort William seven up already mentioned but its the back of a shield bottle , clearly says " seven up bottling company ( fort William ) limited Fort William Ontario ,

thunder bay was called fort William before they changed the name if anyone is confused as to where its from

Another to ad to list...but I have no photo and can't recall if it was the shield or 7 bubble, guess that does not matter because this list is for cities in general.

Prince George BC was one of the places not on the list I assumed might have a 7 up bottle but a city that I have virtually no information or pictures of any bottles for some reason . just a tough place to find info on bottlers for some reason

Well I'm a pretty happy camper with this one,.....my first 28oz NDNR 7up! It has a date code of 1966 and is from Consumers glass.
I posed the 10oz with it for size comparison. Oh and BTW the new image uploader is awesome!!!

I found another 7 up bottle on the weekend , i'll post it when I get some pictures taken , but its a good one , from a city already listed but an entirely different version than we've seen before , looking thru all my 7 up pictures to try and see if I can find anything similar but so far nothing

well here is something I didn't expect to find this weekend , 7 up Swim version , entirely French version but not from Quebec , not sure I've seen an entirely French bottle from Quebec and wouldn't be at all surprised if one existed

this one marked as being from " 7 up Bottling Co Ottawa Limited " which was the named used by the 7 up bottler in Ottawa in the 1950's

assuming this bottle was used in the Hull / Gatineau area of quebec which is directly across the river from Ottawa or in predominately French speaking areas of Ottawa / rockland > Hawkesbury area which borders quebec and almost entirely French

on back of bottle

Seven Up , Le Breuvage Qui " Ravigote " , contient , Eau carbonate , sucre , acide , citrique , citrate de sodium ,
essence derive d'huiles de citron et de limette

Bon Pour Tous , Bon Pour Vous

contenu 7 onces fl

Seven up Bottling co ( Ottawa ) limited

also has a date code on bottom - D , 5 , D ( diamond ) , 2 - V 928 - A

Seven Up, The Beverage That "Ravigotes", contains, Carbonated water, sugar, acid, citric, sodium citrate, essence derived from lemon and lime oils

Good For All, Good For You

content 7 fl ounces

according to google translate this is what it would say in English , although unsure what Ravigote means ? all I can find online is its some sort of sauce for French cuisine , which doesn't really make sense for use on a soda bottle

That's cool....my all French in marked Montreal.
So the phrase , "Le Breuvage Qui " Ravigote " basically translates to 'the drink that delights' or in another search it adds an r to the end and means ' to perk up'
