I have been doing a little more poking around and the latest date I can find for the Unatin 7up Company is 1945. If that was when the company ceased operating, then it is highly unlikely that the 6 next to the Reed mark is for 1946 - which presents and even greater possibility for the 6 as representing 1936. In case you are wondering why I am focusing on the Unatin 7up bottle, its because I believe if we can date it with some measure of accuracy, then the same might apply to dating Rich's White Swimsuit bottle. I acknowledge that more research is required, but sometimes by looking outside the box is where some of the best information can be found. I hate to guess about such things, but if I were to guess, I would lean toward Rich's bottle as having been made in 1937 and the Unatin bottle in 1936 (With "maybe" as my escape clause)
