MINT 1936 7UP BOTTLE. ANOTHER KNOWS NOTHING DEALER

[bamascavenger]

Here is a antiques dealer pulling a fast one? or just does not know better? I wrote the gentleman and explained how they were dated and he had the bottom shown upside down and you can clearly see the small number 4 added to it. Making this a 1946 bottle. Plus i tols him it was not MINT as he puts it because is missing the red orange paint pigment. He wrote back standing his ground sayin he knows more about them than i. Oh welll, just cannot educate most.

He did at least post the comments and questions with the item description now.

You can clearly see the ghost lines of where the orange was.
