    Clear 7up bottle. From 7up bottling of Iron Mountain, Michigan. Bottom says LAMMI with a 3 and 9 above that. Please see pics. Just looking to see when this was produced. Can't find anything like it on internet. I can find Crush bottles that are close but no 7up. Glass is very heavy. Doesnt seem like a labelled bottle. Any info very appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Lee

      Does the bottom look like this:
      3. <(I)> 9.?
      Or <()> and sometimes just I? With the 9. or 9 with no dot?
      For <(I)>, the dot after the right number is very important for dating.
      9. would be 1949, but 9 would be 1939.
      If it's just <> or <I>, it's probably Illinois Glass Co., which would likely be 1929-- the year that mark ended (they joined Owens.)

      All of these dates also give you your time-period. It is an Art-Deco style bottle, which typically are considered to begin in the 1920s and end in the 1940s.
      Iron Mountain, Michigan had a lot of bottles. Lammi may be the last name of the one controlling the bottling operations there.

      BTW... it likely didn't hold 7-Up. 7-Up Bottling Co. was just the company, which would certainly have had other flavours.

      And I then realised, 7-Up didn't come out till the late 1920s, where it started as Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon Lime Soda. Sounds delightful, huh?

      So... likely 1930s+ on your bottle.

      This was may families pop plant up in Iron mountain. my father worked there when he was young. To my knowledge they were a 7up distributed 7up products. I have a bunch of the old Lammi beverage bottles with the Skier on them.
