It just so happens that I have one from P.E.I- a little older than the ACLs they were talking about- but kinda neat looking- GAC Attachment (1) (in reply to bottlenutboy) Post #: 221

As you say, I have seen quite a few of them but not many of the Grattan 's. Will keep you in mind concerning the Fritz if I decide to let it go. I would say it would be a good place to go and would fit in more than well in your collection of Ginger Ale bottles. < Message edited by L C -- 6/23/2007 9:47:15 PM > (in reply to Ginger Ale collector) Post #: 222

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 7/2/2007 8:39:16 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 122 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Hi Neil, Circle A items are really popular these days. It looks like you have an early crown top of theirs. Oddly enough, none of the Circle A bottles that I know of are embossed ginger ale! To my knowledge, they all had paper labels that said ginger ale. The early ones had diamond-shaped labels that were a light yellow or green with three-leafed clover (shamrocks) that was a reference to ginger ale's Irish heritage. I have one of those bottles, but now am waiting for a label to turn up! Thanks for asking. GAC (in reply to urban archeologist) Post #: 224

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 11/18/2007 8:12:10 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 122 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Hello all- During my travels have picked up a couple of interesting ginger ales. Here's one that has quite a bit of history, and what appears to be some "artistic" license taken on the label art work. It's from Chicago, ILL, but the subject matter is in northern Georgia. Whomever owned the Citrus Products Company in Chicago was a southern patriot as the label is the Civil War Memorial in Stone Mountain Georgia. This is an interesting story, as it took 60 years to complete, finally done in 1972. While the carving shows none of the horse's legs, it turns out the bottle label reflects the original design. The bottom half of the design was scrapped to save time! The bottle label was made before the carving was finished without the legs.

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 2/13/2011 6:49:15 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 122 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Hello Bottle Forum- after a long absence I found some time to post a picture of some the ginger ale bottles that have come my way. Going left to right !) James Ray Ginger Ale, Savannah GA in a rare medium blue. These usually are a very dark royal cobalt. Late 1870s early 1880s. 2) Next is a dark teal green crown from Jamaica. Montego Bay Steam Bottling company, label only- probably early 1900s. 3) Lime Rock Springs Ginger Ale, Dubuque, IA, probably late 1930s, 4) Granite State Springs Ginger Ale, Atkinson, NH. The back of the bottle is embossed with the same scene as the label, very rare to get a complete label. The ginger ale neck label is actually a feather shape. Around 1920. 5) East Mountain Ginger Ale, Factoryville, PA. This style bottle which took a small cork and a wire closer, like champagne was popular with spring water companies in late 1890s. Many spas and mineral spring companies also bottled their "waters" in these bottles. 6) Arctic Dry, a very rare painted label from Canada (Windsor Bottling Company), not sure of date, but could be late 1940s. and 7) a yellow amber G. Ebberwein ginger ale ( embossed ginger ale on reverse) from Savannah. This bottle came in about seven different colors including black amber and chartreuse, and even plain old aqua! This yellowish one is hard to come by. All date from mid 1880s. Well that's it for now. Ken- (GAC- Ginger Ale Collector) Attachment (1) (in reply to Ginger Ale collector) Post #: 226

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 2/14/2011 4:51:59 PM    druggistnut Posts: 1148 Joined: 1/7/2006 From: Otisville, Michigan Status: offline Hi GAC, I also have the McCullough's bottle and spent a couple of fruitless days trying to run it down. I posted on here about a year ago regarding it, too. My friend has an amber quart blob, no slugplate, embossed S and H Ginger Ale. The back is embossed Not To be Sold. No makers mark. I will try to get a pic from him, but no promises. It was dug in Michigan. Any ideas? Thanks, and GREAT topic! Bill _____________________________ Michigan drugstore bottles/dose glasses, jugs, etc...

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 2/15/2011 4:49:24 PM    celerycola   Posts: 1144 Joined: 2/20/2004 From: Alabama Status: offline I have a 12 ounce ten pin Brayer's Hi-Ball Ginger Ale from Rochester NY. I probably have a few more ginger ales in my bottle show sales boxes. I have a lot of history on soft drinks in general and ginger ale in particular from forty years of research and have written several books on soda history. If you decide to write a book let me know and I give you a ton of information. (in reply to druggistnut) Post #: 235

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 3/5/2011 4:54:29 PM    rico2002   Posts: 1 Joined: 3/5/2011 Status: offline Hi, I have a wolverine box and three of the Wolverine bottles that you have posted a picture here. They do not say ginger ale on the bottle like the one you have very heavy bottle, would like to know about the history of this bottle and if they are worth anything including the wooden crate they came in. Thank You (in reply to madman) Post #: 236

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 3/10/2012 2:16:34 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 122 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Hello- GAC here- back again after a long absence- The Caswell and Harzard is a nice bottle- fairly common- comes in a greenish aqua that stands out. The company was a famous druggist and medicinal supply firm in the mid to late 1800s. The bottle is probably late 1880s. (in reply to cowseatmaize) Post #: 237

Still no info! If your buddy still has the S and H blob embossed ginger ale- I'm interested. Have no idea! The closest I come to S & H is D & H. Ken.

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 3/10/2012 2:53:11 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 122 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Hi Celery Cola- I've been away from the forum for a while- bit I believe I met you a few years ago at the York National show- you had a great display of your Celery Colas, if I'm not mistaken. The Brayers Ginger Ale from Rochester is not a common bottle. It is in my collection along with a couple of its cousins from Brockport, NY., which is about 20 miles west of Rochester. Not sure what was up with the ten-pin style, but they are all nice bottles from the 1930s. Attachment (1) (in reply to celerycola) Post #: 239

We'll keep looking and learning! There's got to be a Michigan or Ohio person who could help.
