Those are keepers.
I’ve found a lot of bottles in my hunting career, but never one of those. 👍🏼

Cool bottles.

The Owens-Illinois mark has the plant code ‘8’ to the left, which is for Glassboro, NJ in operation between 1930-1940. After that, the code was re-allocated to the New Orleans plant. However, the date code ‘7’ to the right is for 1937, since by 1947 the company had switched to double-digit date codes and 1947 would be ‘47’ not ‘7’.

I could most certainly jump start somebodies need to bottle collect...!

If the plant code is '6' not, '8' then it's for the Charleston, WV plant in operation between 1930-1962 before the code was then re-allocated to Winston-Salem, NC. The same system applies to the date code... single digit up until the changeover to double digits during 1943-1944 and then thereafter.

This link will probably provide you with everything that you want to know.
It has many layers of dating a bottle, how it was made, types of bottles, manufacturers and the details of dating those bottom details as this 7/UP shows.
Once you've done reading this entire link you'll be digging glass.

Dug bottles most of my life and never recovered one intact brown 7/UP bottle.
Congratulations on your recovery.

Nice save. I like bottles, but for me they take up too much room to have an enjoyable display

I have 5+ boxes of antique medicine, beer, ink and other type bottles. Wish ya lived next door. Do ya? Close to Centerville Tennessee...?

I think right here on Treasure-Net under "Forum"

Very nice bottle find, especially since 7up has been a Green bottle forever. I've never even seen a Brown one before. I like your display cabinet, it looks like mine ! No room for any more, so I started displaying them on wall shelves.

Thanks to everyone for the information to get me started.
