Thanks ... Then it's a 1936. The first amber's were made in 1935.

Will do on my helping you to find a buyer. But please give me a couple of days to work on it. The possible buyers I know might be tied up with New Year's Eve and not reply to my emails until after everything settles down.

Thanks again and good job on the pics.

Bob

Regarding the mysterious number 24 ...

Every Owens-Illinois chart I am aware of does not show a plant number 24. I have a green 7up bottle similar to yours that also has the 24. But mine is dated 1937.

Here's a sampling of an Owens-Illinois chart.

Here's the base on my green 1937. Notice the 24 ... ???

(Almost) the last but not least ...

Here's another chart showing the chronology of the amber 7 ounce 7up bottle. But notice for San Diego that the X is under "standard" and not stubby. San Diego was the only city in the U.S. that made a amber "standard / slim" bottle. All the other cities made the squat/stubbies.

Also notice that it shows an introduction date of 1936. This has since been confirmed and changed to 1935 by Cecil Munsey, who is a local expert and who has a 1935 amber. Cecil lives in Poway.

Here's a picture of a stubby / squat just in case you are not familiar with them ...

It goes without saying if a forum member wants to make you an offer they can do so by contacting you through a PM.

By the way, do you have a "Minimum" or do you intend to accept the "Best Offer" no matter what the amount might be?
