Large early 7up bottle U7P

[Jbeas31]

Trying to determine an exact date on this bottle. I believe it was a paper label bottle.

It looks like possibly 1937, according to the bottom info.

Thank you. I finally found plant number 24 listed as Los Angeles between 1932-1937 production years.

I have not seen many of these larger early 7up bottles.

How large? Do you think 28 oz? Also check any past threads on 7up bottles. Lots of good stuff on here.

 

[Jbeas31]

Yes, it has to be at least 28 oz. It is the same size as my large liter bottles from the late 50s to 70s.

I'm trying to navigate the forum and look for 7up stuff.

Was that you that has a similar bottle to this one?

Awesome Bottle Canadacan.
My bottle's Plant Code 24, was only listed producing bottles from 1932-1937. So the 1935 date works

Are you positive your bottle is 1945. Im no expert but according to most articles U7P bottles were phased out by 1940.
I know there are exceptions to the rules, as I own a 1943 amber squat 8 bubble bottle that should have been phased out by 1940 as well.

I did find this stating that Dominion glass did have bottles dating back to 1928

Yea I'm quite sure...I have other bottle logos that ran latter in Canada than in the USA. Dominion Glass goes back to 1886....the 1928 year you mention is referring to when Dominion started using the diamond D logo.
My bottle is marked C <D> 5 May/June 1945.................. so far my findings indicate that the 1930's bottles are marked with only the diamond D logo and a # to the right. I only have two bottles marked in this fashion so I really need more bottles to sample to form a positive conclusion.

This is from a article by Bill Lockhart, Beau Schriever, and Bill Lindsey

~In all three decades, the logo was in the center of the base, with the pair number above it and the mold number below it. The year was indicated by a single-digit number to the right of the logo. During the 1940s, the month was shown by a letter: (King 1987:247; Miller & Jorgensen 1986:3).
A = January/February
B = March/April
C = May/June
D = July/August
E = September/October
F = November/December

Okay that makes sense that some of those bottles ran later. I know that many of the Canadian bottles had completely different wordings on the back.

I have a couple Canadian made bottles myself.

Do you collect many 7ups?

Im interested in a bottle with Ca Ravigote. Pictured below

 

[Canadacan]

Yes I have a few items.... ...still working on variations and still need a Canadian 8 bubble. The bottle with Ca Ravigote are from eastern Canada....we never had those out west.
Can't seem to find a photo of my cans............

This is the shelf with most of my stuff.


This is my Quart bottles all together.
