This is my latest 7up purchase.
I know it’s rare. But I’m not sure exactly what it is? Some kind of sample from a salesman? Or a test?

As you can see in pics the bottle is small. It is made of glass. Has a screw top bottom. Has a White filled in swimsuit. Has an early shield style neck logo. Has 8 bubbles on all logos. It has a small hole in the top.

Says:
”PATENTED
DES. 112690” on heel of bottle.

Well thanks for taking the mystery out of what it was originally from.
Never would have thought of an ashtray. Wish I had the ashtray and straw (mentioned in worthpoint link) to go with it.

Seems to so far be a regional advertising piece for at least 2 Wisconsin bottlers. One in Tomah and one Racine.

Excited to find another white swimsuit bottle other than the Downey-Joyce bottles from Ohio.

Anyone seen any others like this?

Congratulations - Great Find

I haven't been around lately but check in from time-to-time. I'm currently working on a project that I'll tell you about in a month or two. I recall seeing one of those threaded 7up bottles before and thought it was extremely cool. I found the patent for it (attached) and was surprised there weren't more drawings or text information. It doesn't appear to have been designed specifically for 7up and there MIGHT be other variations of it out there somewhere? Here's the link to the patent ...

See ya later - I'll be back one of these days
