Found another cool 7UP item at a garage sale this weekend. The cardboard 7UP case on the bottom I'm guessing is from the 1960's. I've never seen one like that so I had to have it.
The bottles and carrier sitting on top I bought last year at a garage sale. Kinda cool to be able to find the cardboard carrier, as many of those didn't survive.
The sign on the wall I bought at Goldrush Days in Rochester, MN a few years ago. It would look pretty cool boxed and lit up; but I haven't gotten around to that yet, lol.
The last picture is a Bubble-Up "stretch" bottle. For those of you that haven't seen one like this, you could win them playing the "ring toss" at fairs BITD. I won a Pepsi bottle at a local fair in 1976 playing the ring toss, the bottle was prefilled with colored water, and capped with a cork. The carnie would take a torch to the bottle and heat it up enough to soften the glass so he could "stretch" it. I haven't seen that art at a fair in over 30 years. My sister broke my Pepsi bottle when I was in the military(little brat), so I've been looking for one for a LONG time and finally found a nice example.
