I found this bottle yesterday for $5. Is it one of the more rare 7 up bottles? I knew to look for one with 8 bubbles. The paint is pretty nice all way around.
As far as I know, all of those ring neck 7ups come from Bryan-Nims in Alabama and Georgia. The example I have actually has four cities listed on the back: Fitzgerald, GA, Macon, GA, Montgomery, AL, and Albany, GA.
It's definitely not an easy bottle to find, although I do see a few come up for sale every year on eBay. You did really well for $5 though! I'd say it's worth somewhere in the $75 range, give or take a little bit. Really nice bottle!
It does say Alabama Georgia on the bottom front and Bryan Nims on the back. No cities are listed. I found it at an antique store in Knoxville along with a couple other bottles.
I think only the later bottles had cities listed so yours must be an earlier one. Mine is from 1941, yours looks to be late '30s. The paint looks good on that one! Great find!
I think I will hold on to it for now. It has a 37 on the bottom. I don't have a big collection but I enjoy looking for them. I am trying to learn what the good ones are.
