Hi all -
this is my first post here, new collector. I was scouting around today on lunch break. Found a cool old empty house, almost falling down condition. Behind it are 2 spots that look like large outbuildings once stood. One was flat grassy. The other obviously had a basement which is now filled in with tons of broken cement, boards, rocks, etc.
I was poking around and this RC Cola bottle was right on top. I think this looks like from the groovy 1970's. No paper label, but not sure it needs one as all info is embossed on bottle or written on the cap (still on bottle). See photo. 16 FL.OZ.(1PT.) under logo on both sides. Aluminum cap has ingredients list on top with sides "Twist off to open" and "Twist on to reseal" (duh, people didn't know to twist back on in those days?) Cap also has "ALCOA Pat No. xxxxxtoo small to readxxxxx" and "BOTTLED BY SEVEN UP BOTTLING CO. OF PHILADELPHIA, INC., CONSHOHOCKEN, PA 19428." Cap is faded but clear.
Near bottom embossed DISPOSE OF PROPERLY one side & the other is NO DEPOSIT NO REFILL. The bottom has an L inside a box (found online info: Leone Industries, Bridgeton, NJ as manufacturer. 1966-present). Also BTL.T-M PAT. D225974; also says ROYAL CROWN COLA CO. with three numbers "76" toward center bottom, "13" toward outer edge, and "168" or maybe "1681"? right in the center.
Does the '76' indicate the year? Is there supposed to be a paper label on this bottle?
