I haven’t been able to find anything about this Spanish 7-up bottle. Any information about it would be great. Several following pictures have details. 7 bubbles on neck and 8 bubbles on main. Owen’s Illinois-looks like 1941 to me. Bottom sides have what looks like a square on one side and the other side has what looks like a 5 then a G and 94 (shown in last 2 pictures)

    Based on this (page 9), the "Duraglass" logo wasn't added to soda bottles until 1940 and mostly stopped being used in 1964. Page 11 gives the specific example of "1." on the bottom indicating 1941, and also says the dot code began being phased out in 1943. The table on page 6 lists the factory code on the left side of the bottom is for the Cincinnati, Ohio plant. It makes no mention of heel codes, though.

    So, TL;DR: Manufactured in 1941 in Cincinnati, Ohio. I have no idea what the G94 on the heel is but it may be a mold identifier used to track down defective molds.
