Hey there. New to the world of bottles, but I'm enjoying getting familiarized with the science of bottle ID.
However, three bottles I found around the northwest Bronx are giving me a little trouble in discovering some details or history about them. I decided it may be easiest to bring my unanswered questions to the experts. I am trying to resize my pics so I can upload them, but until then the details are below. Any thoughts are appreciated, thanks!

The first bottle is an entirely embossed 7up bottle (green, with no applied color). I checked out some links that some users posted on here, but this bottle didn't seem to fit the categories on those links (this bottles shape is different than any I have found, as it has a very stout neck ).
Bottle#1 Details:
Neck - "7up ( 7 bubbles) , No Deposit No Return"
Bottle- "7 up (7 bubbles and a circled R) You like it - It likes you , One Pint"
Base- "Not to be Refilled, 14 CK- 18805 , 67"

The other two are local, but couldn't find much info.

Bottle # 2 Details:
"Tavolilla Bros Inc.
Tuckahoe, N.Y.
High Grade Beverages
Contents 8 Fl Oz."
Patented May 11 1926 , 65948 (this is pretty hard to read, so one number may be off)
Base- 3 , (symbol almost like a zero with an eye shape through it) , 46 , Registered, 1.

Bottle #3 Details:
"U-N0-US
Bruckner Beverages, Inc.
406-414 E 161st St.
New York
Registered
Contents 8 fl oz."
Base- G in a square, 178-3

Hello Katy,

Welcome to the Blue Bayou of Bottles, and thanks for telling us of your finds.

#1 is a 1967 7 Up NDNR. Does it look like one of the first 2 in this photo"

From.

#2 was made in 1946 by the Owns Illinois Glass Co. at the Fairmont, WVa plant. Tavolilla Bros. made a popular line of fruit flavored sodas under the Leewood brand name.

#3 was made by the Glenshaw Glass Works, possibly in 1943. Here's some Bruckner genealogical information. The Tammany Hall conection is of interest.

GREAT info, thanks so much! [:D] I'm glad I decided to post them. I'm looking forward to checking out that link about Bruckner's bottle geneology link. As for the 7up, I have the second one in the line up you posted. Thanks again for lending your expertise!
