Old Dr Pepper and 7up ?

[Ablev1981]

Hi! I have acquired 2 bottles that I’m a little confused on how old and average of much they would cost.
1.) Dr.Pepper. It’s a clear debased, “good for life”, 10,2,4 clock in normal order, has nothing on the bottom and says I believe “.LGW.” or “4LGW6”.
2.) 7up. It’s green Glass with the ACL being white and red/orange. There is 8 bubbles under 7up, 8 above the swimsuit girl but 7 on the neck label. There are no markings on the bottom but on the back it has the “you like it it likes you” slogan.
I’ll send pics.

Welcome to the forum, that's a nice 8-bubble 7 Up! Those are the early ones, dating from the 1930s or early 1940s. They're a lot more collectible than the later ones, so it's definitely desirable although I don't know how rare it is. The Dr. Pepper I don't know much about unfortunately, but I think it's from around the same time period as the 7 Up.

i'm not sure it count as an 8 bubble or not , the fresh up wording on the back was not used in the 30's or 40's , pretty sure its from 50's era and no idea how common or rare one would be from that city

Okay. Thanks. It’s like a half and half.. 8 bubbles everywhere but the neck’s 7. Lol. I guess I will have to look and see if there’s a lot of soda bottles from that city.

I believe that is a legit 8 bubble 7up. I have a few like that. Not from that city but with only 7 bubbles on the neck. There were no 8 bubble bottles into the 50's as far as i am aware of. 1946 is the latest I am aware of. It' a good one though. Are there any markings on the lip or crown area?
