This is front and back of a W.T Thornly Sale, gingerale 13 ounce allway codd. It's turned into a very interesting thread this one . Attachment (1) (in reply to Ginger Ale collector) Post #: 21

Here's Vernor's with a paper label for a extra dry version that is pretty unusual. Attachment (1) (in reply to madman) Post #: 24

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 7/2/2005 8:57:17 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 112 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Whiskeyman- yes those are not too hard to find- but some of them are older than the one you show. Great label with the famous Canada Dry map. Yours says at the very bottom: "Scientifically treated carbonated water. . . . etc. etc." The older ones have the founder's name J.J. McLaughlin Limited, and the neck label says Extract imported from Canada, Bottled in the U.S.. At one time there was a 5 cent per bottle import duty on ginger ale coming into the U.S.- there's lot of history behind ginger ale -- (in reply to whiskeyman) Post #: 25

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 7/2/2005 9:19:43 PM    Sam_MaineBottles Posts: 371 Joined: 4/5/2004 From: Mid-coast Maine Status: offline Hi GAC - Small world - I was at the Big Chicken Barn this morning (got a nice old seltzer bottle from Mt. Kebo Spring Co. of Bar Harbor circa 1910). My folks live in Ellsworth which is only about 25 miles from me. Let me know next time you're up here in ME, I'd like to show you my collection. I'd like to see some pics of your Buckfield bottle and your hutch bottle - where is that one from? I'm guessing your blob top round base ginger ale bottles are from Ingalls Bros. of Portland. Do you have a Cupid Club ginger ale from Penobscot Bottling Co. of Bangor (blue green embossed with cupid) - I just got an extra of that one today as well. -Sam (in reply to Ginger Ale collector) Post #: 26

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 7/2/2005 9:41:45 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 112 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Hello ACL, You betcha it's unusual! Very hard to find ACL from Hollywood, CA, especially in great condition like yours. The whole bottle is "painted" except for the bottom and the process they used wasn't very effective and the color was easily nicked or scratched on most. I wonder what it tasted like since the first ingredient listed was fruit juice! (in reply to acls) Post #: 27

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 7/2/2005 10:12:57 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 112 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Hey Sam- that would be great- we'll be going in September. Yes I have the Cupid Club- it's a great bottle with a wonderful Cupid embossed on it. Nice blue color. Great addition to any soda collection. They seem to be turning up more than they used to. Yes I have the Ingalls round bottom from Portland. I have some paper label Ingalls from around 1900 I will try to take a picture of. In the meantime, here is the one I mentioned from Bucksfield. I wrote to the historical society of that town, and they had no record of a Mr. Morill listed as the "state agent" for Mount Hartford Ginger Ale. The bottle is damaged at the very top and probably would have been thrown away by the bottler if it had been returned. In any case, if the bottle had been undamaged, the label would have been scrubbed off, the bottle washed, refilled and off to another customer. These pony type bottles are exceedingly rare with a label. I'm just glad this one happened to be ginger ale! Attachment (1) (in reply to Sam_MaineBottles) Post #: 28

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 7/2/2005 10:21:46 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 112 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Whiskeyman- I mentioned in one of my other posts about a Golden Ginger Ale from Canada Dry. Here it is. These bottles are embossed Canada Dry around the top and you don't see them very often with a label. I was lucky on this one. Attachment (1) (in reply to whiskeyman) Post #: 29

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 7/2/2005 10:39:17 PM    Sam_MaineBottles Posts: 371 Joined: 4/5/2004 From: Mid-coast Maine Status: offline Hi GAC - Here's another Mt. Hartford ginger ale bottle with the same label, this is a wine type bottle from the collection at the Wilton ME Historical Society. I have the Mt. Hartford company listed in my Maine Bottlers book but the only info I have on it is that stated on the label. I'd say from your bottle that the outfit is a little older that I had expected. Do you have a 7 oz. paper label ginger ale from Highland Springs of Lewiston? -Sam Attachment (1) (in reply to IRISH) Post #: 30

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 7/2/2005 10:44:00 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 112 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Hello Irish, I have the two Fletcher's in your eariler post, and the W.T. Thornley from Sale. There is another Thornley Codd I have, but this one is W.J. Thornley from Horsham! I'd be very grateful if you would indeed be on the lookout for the Wilcox with the ginger ale embossed. Isn't it curious that the only Codds embossed ginger ale are from down under? At least to my knowledge. Now, as promised, the picture of the embossing on the Rowlands Ginger Ale. This one has no less than three cities embossed, Ballarat, Melbourne, and Sydney. And if you can make it out, there is a miner (you can just make out the pickaxe over his shoulder) and wheat farmer embossed, plus a crown, and a unicorn. Now for folks who aren't aware, Ballarat was a famous gold mining town in Austalia. And you figure that gold mining and wheat farming in Australia had to be thirsty jobs for sure. This bottle was purchased by a friend of mine in an antique shop in Hawaii! Go figure. Any significance you know of for the unicorn? Attachment (1) (in reply to IRISH) Post #: 31

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 7/2/2005 10:45:58 PM    Sam_MaineBottles Posts: 371 Joined: 4/5/2004 From: Mid-coast Maine Status: offline Here's a pic of a Cupid Club paper label that I found at the Maine State Archives in Augusta, it's from 1921. That would be something to find still on a bottle! Attachment (1) (in reply to IRISH) Post #: 32

Yes- I've got the Highland Springs bottle you mentioned. Thanks for sharing the picture- that's all for today- (in reply to Sam_MaineBottles) Post #: 33

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 7/2/2005 10:53:02 PM    Sam_MaineBottles Posts: 371 Joined: 4/5/2004 From: Mid-coast Maine Status: offline Here's a pic of two paper label ginger ales from Auburn, probably from the late 20s-early 30s. I like the plane and ship pictured on the Nu-Icy label. Attachment (1) (in reply to IRISH) Post #: 34

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 7/3/2005 4:32:58 AM    IRISH   Posts: 1238 Joined: 11/23/2002 From: cockatoo Australia Status: offline Hi Ginger Ale collector, any chance of a full view of the Rowlands ? There is a massive range of bottles from that company (they were huge) with and without the trade mark, they also had branches in Katoomba and I think Newcastle. I can sort of remember seeing a bottle with ginger ale on it from them but can't picture it. Now that you mention it I do know the Horsham Thornly's, any others I think of I'll email or post them.

Please do keep in touch on the Wilcox. I'll be posting some other pictures today in reponse to all the great collectors who are interested in my ginger ale walkabouts, and the bits and pieces of history I've accumulated along the way.

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 7/4/2005 4:56:49 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 112 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Hello Whiskeyman, I noticed your location is Tennessee or thereabouts. Thought you might like to see this ginger ale from your part of the world- it also comes in a round bottom style. The color is a light cobalt- which is sometimes called cornflower blue.
