Amber stubby 7up bottles

[johnmhamilton]

I purchased (and I'm sure I over paid) a small box of bottles yesterday and found (3) 1937 amber 7up bottles from Harlingen, TX. They are in excellent condition with the exception of the missing paper labels. These are the first that I have ever seen and was wondering if anyone can give me an idea of what these bottles are valued at. Regards,John

Sounds good, but please show some pics of the bottles. Including the bottoms.

Sorry! I didn't have access to my photos when I posted earlier. Here are some pics. [attachment=20150903_163657[1].jpg][attachment=20150903_163900[1].jpg][attachment=20150903_163949[1].jpg]This reads G5266 at the bottom of the bottles.

Thanx for the pics. Those look very clean. I collect 7up's but am no expert, but if they had the labels or acl on them. Maybe anywhere from 20$ to 80$? They would have been of the '8 bubble' version. Hopefully others will chime in with some opinions.Here is a ebay listing of a current one with acl.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nice-Amber-7-Up-8-Bubble-Squat-Bottle-Houston-Texas-Tx-/331643921363?hash=item4d3784a3d3 If you look in the 'sold' listings for amber 7up bottles, you will see more.

This chart, which was compiled by Cecil Munsey, provides some dates and locations for the various amber 7up bottles.

P.S. According to Munsey's chart, Harlingen, Texas produced a paper label bottle but not an ACL
