Recently went sea glassing at a local site and came away with many old bottles, this 7-up I cannot find any pics of on internet... Can anyone help with a possible date?

surprised you can't find any pics on the internet as its a very common design on 7 up bottles , the swim / lady version .

it would date to the 40's or 50's era , was when those were being used

That is back label #2 which was used approximately between 1938 -1944. What does it say on the bottom of the bottle? There will be a date of manufacture there.

No because they stopped the addition of lithium when it was banned by the government in 1948, so this bottle predates all that i have seen in that none say "lithiated" on the back label, some do have the bubble girl on front though

your right it does have slightly different wording , there was several different back labels used on the swim bottles . the lithiated wording is likely a sign its an early label as mentioned its likely from the early 40's era
