I have been informed by a fellow by the name of Charles...a seller on EBAY whom i have bought from before. Ebay name = BOTTLEMAN57 He says, That ALL 7ups even through the WAR had the orange red shield. just was able to fade more quickly. NO white bottles were ever made!! Now it gets interesting. Bill Lockharts article in The SODAFIZZ says they do exist. Bill has provided me with a photo. But is there any REAL DOCUMENTATION from the bottlers, Librarys etc.. to which we can turn to? This bottle evidently had the RED it was just removed!! Live and learn. Still a nice bottle though. I do not wish to make anyone mad on this issue, but, who do you believe and where are the facts and the fiction and how do you separate fact from fiction when you do not have any facts, just someones word that they exist and another says they do not? Was I ripped off by a seller? The only info i had to go on was from the SODAFIZZ that these lost thier RED PIGMENTATION due to the war effort in 1942 till 1945! I like the magazine, I do not know Kathy nor Bill and i am not throwing mud. I want REAL answers and the truth. The truth will set you free! BOTTLEMAN57'S/CHARLES EMAIL address is; Thomascahoon@cableone.net and Bill Lockharts is; bottlebill@tularosa.net Let us please make a joint effort to resolve this matter and update collectors, books, magazines and one another. Here is a link for a 1942 for sale and has the RED shield! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=260246377131
