RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 12/21/2005 8:17:47 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 112 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Hello all, Here's a change of pace in the ginger ale department. These three are quart blob tops dating anywhere from the 1870s to 1890s. The one on the left is from Chicago, the middle one is from Kansas City, Kansas, and the last one has no location. McCollough's Ginger Ale Works. Anyone have any ideas where it might be from? The term "works" was used in some parts instead of "company". Canada maybe?

Might be a start. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to madman) Post #: 143

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 1/14/2006 5:59:07 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 112 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Hello Capsoda, Thanks for the thought that the McCollough's Ginger Ale Works bottle could be from Dixie way. Maybe some one will know the company name. Here's neat ginger ale from down your way: Gold Crown, E. Carre Company, Mobile AL. Anybody know anything about the company. I don't have too many ginger ales from your state. Do you know of any particularly interesting ones? Thanks. Attachment (1) (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 146

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 1/14/2006 6:27:02 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 112 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Hey Madman and Taz, The Cloverdale Ginger Ale is a nice bottle, and is about early 1940s, I believe. I have one in my collection with a Cloverdale crown cap. If you returned the cap, you got a half cent refund (so the cap said) which would date the cap, and possibly the bottle to WWII when there was a shortage of metal for the war. The ginger ale is not too uncommon, but the Limes & Lithia one is not one I've seen very often. Good for any collection of sodas for sure. (in reply to madman) Post #: 147

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 1/14/2006 8:58:22 PM    capsoda Posts: 7865 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: offline Edmond Carre started bottleing soda water in Mobile, Al. in partnership with E. S. Clark in 1871. This parnership was desolved in 1873 when E.S. Clark moved to Meridian Mississippi. That same year Edmond Carre went into business for him self under the name and style of "E CARRE / MOBILE / ALA".using Matthews gravitating stopper bottles. He was still in business in to the 1880s and used all kinds of bottles but I don't have any info after that. Its a good start. I'll try to find more but can't promise.

I've seen a few Warrnambool Cordials but only this one with Ginger Ale on the back. (in reply to madman) Post #: 149

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 1/29/2006 7:46:31 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 112 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Hello Irish, You just keep seeing these Codd ginger ales from down under, but they aren't surfacing over here. . . . yet. . Tell me again what the Dobson's patent is- is it the "square"- type codd style, or am I in the weeds. . .? Here's an example of a square-type Thornley from Sale. Oh, and the Hay & Son's ginger ale came along for the ride, it's from Aberdeen, Scotland. The scene on the label is embossed on the other side of the bottle.

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 1/29/2006 7:52:44 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 112 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Hi Warren, Thanks for info on E. Carre. On my bottle (Gold Crown Ginger Ale) the "e" in Carre has the French accent mark. Is that also on the Hutchinson bottle in your picture? Can't quite tell. Do you know of any Alabama blobtop bottles embossed Ginger Ale? I've never heard of one. Thanks again. (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 151

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 2/1/2006 2:16:43 AM    IRISH   Posts: 1238 Joined: 11/23/2002 From: cockatoo Australia Status: offline Hey GAC, That's an all-way codd (also called a bulb by some, here a bulb is like an all-way but bulges out on the seams for a CM or so), Dobson's are the two on the right in the first photo I posted in the first page of this thread (enormous, record sized thread ). Your Thornley looks to be a really nice colour, is it unusually dark blueish aqua? (in reply to madman) Post #: 153

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 2/1/2006 8:38:57 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 112 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Hey Irish- I'm still confused about the Dobson's patent. Went back to look at page 1, and they look like Codds to me- was Dobson's patent a type of Codd? My Thornley's is on the darkish aqua side. It that usual for that bottle?

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 2/1/2006 8:59:01 PM    IRISH   Posts: 1238 Joined: 11/23/2002 From: cockatoo Australia Status: offline Dobsons are a type of codd, there where hundreds of patents taken out after the codd's patent expired (and several before), so a bottle like the ones on the right in that photo is a Dobson Codd, your Thornley is an All-way Codd etc. The Thornley's are more often just a normal aqua, I have seen one really dark one though, makes it all the nicer .

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 3/10/2006 7:38:40 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 112 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Hey Soda fans! Been busy with all sorts of things- so haven't had a chance to hang out in the bottle world much. But I did go to the great Baltimore bottle show this past weekend. Wow. What a show- set up as a dealer with my bottle partner and we were busy from 8 am to 3 pm on Sunday the day of the show- record sales! Here's one of the finds at the show I bought from Brian Wade, the author of the Deco soda book. Big Hit Ginger Ale. It was a big hit with me for sure. Attachment (1) (in reply to IRISH) Post #: 156

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 3/16/2006 8:06:36 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 112 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Hello Botil, What a nice group of bottles. My interest is in the soda (ginger ale), not the beer type of ale. Some of your bottles might be whiskey bottles rather than beer or ale. The 3rd and 10th in your group picture are most likey whiskey bottles. There may be others that were whiskey but the shapes of #3 and #10 are most typical. As far as the others are concerned, most of them could have held beer of any kind, including porter or ale. There is a connection between ginger ale soda and ale (beer). When ginger ale soda was first invented in 1852, it was quite different than ginger beer as it was not cloudy, but clear brown like an ale (beer). So the story goes that the soda was named ale because it looked like ale (beer). (in reply to botil) Post #: 160
