Orange swimsuit bubble girl 7up

[Jbeas31]

Label is much more greyed out/faded. It's a very unusual bottle embossed on one side with an 8 bubble ACL neck label on the other.

I think it's a 1937.

Very cool bottle. I have seen one or two with the neck like that. I agree on the 1937.

That is a great variation!...never seen an orange swimsuit! also the combo of the neck tags, one embossed...and quite low on the shoulder, and the other ACL.
Which glass plant is that from?

 

[iggyworf]

If that is a 'D' in the triangle. Would that be Dominion glass Co.?

 

[Canadacan]

No that's not a Canadian bottle...that be a D in a diamond

In two years of looking at 7up bottles I hadn't come across an orange swimsuit girl.
Bottom says 4, triangle with an R inside, then 7.

It it also has Joyce Products Columbus Ohio embossed around the heel.

triangle with an R inside, = Reed glass Co Rochester NY.

my bottle is also from 1937 , I posted in in other thread about large 7 up bottle , unfortuently its too faded to determine if swimsuit was ever orange or not , but both bottles definity very old 7 up bottles

Cool RCO. You lucked up finding that bottle out in the open for sure.
There seem to be so many variations of the early 7ups until 1940.
According to a few articles out there 1937 was the biggest year for variations on the bottles.

The oldest 7up bottle I have is a 1936 Amber paper label. I posted it on the large u7p thread. The label has some tears on the edges and the bubble girl is gone but it's 75% there. Including "The Howdy Co" on the bottom right of the label.
