A 7-UP Bottle Mystery - SOLVED

This morning I worked to try and find a specific date for the following 7-UP bottle.

7-UP Bottle
 Fortunetly, there has been some good work done to chronical the earlier bottle varieties for the brand. This particular example seems to be quite modern...

WOW.

Even as I was writing and trying to find the updated bottle makers website, the site led me to a seperate page about Anchor Hocking. The page then linked to an outside souce for reading the botttle bases of bottles from the 1960s and 70s.
Orignially from Dick Cole (fruitjar.org).

Until this point I had suspected the soda bottle was from 1976, but with the handy identification guide I now know that the bottle IS dated to 1976 from the Los Angeles Plant.
