7up YOU LIKE IT – IT LIKES YOU brown glass bottle (1960’s)

            A 7up 25 fl ozs (2 pint) bottle made of brown glass (as opposed to the usual green) with its original screw cap. The design is screen-printed directly onto the bottle in two colours (red & white). The bottle measures about 11 ¾“ high (300mm)

7up used the ‘You like it-It likes you’ during the 1950’s and into the 1960’s. At the time, independent bottling companies would buy 7up in bulk then bottle and distributed it themselves. In this case the bottling company was Kiely’s Bottling Co. Ltd. of Tipperary. As was usual practise, the reuse of large glass bottles was encouraged by offering a ‘deposit refunded on return’. I remember as a kid during the 1960’s, me and my friends could make quite a bit of extra pocket-money finding and returning empty glass bottles to get the deposits at 2d a bottle!

The base has the following text moulded as part of the bottle – I G B  1274-3  08. The maker was Irish Glass Bottle of Ringsend in Dublin 4 and the numbers include a mould reference number.

Thank you for reading.
