RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 3/16/2006 8:14:41 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 112 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Here's another recent ginger ale find. The Blue Anchor Inn is quite famous in Philadephia as it was the earliest one in America outside of Jamestown VA. The picture on the label is a reasonably accurate drawing of what the Inn looked like in the mid 1600s. It was where William Penn first went when he arrived at the land that was to become Pennsylvania. Attachment (1) (in reply to Ginger Ale collector) Post #: 161

Came across the matchbook a number of years later. Attachment (1) (in reply to Ginger Ale collector) Post #: 162

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 6/2/2006 8:18:22 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 112 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Hi Tony- sorry for the delay in responding. Billy Baxter is a really interesting Ginger Ale. The bottle you have is the ealier one of the two types. The other is a ten-pin crown top that came either in clear or green. The company was located in Red Raven, PA and began as a mineral water company. The family who owned it was an interesting one, and William Kountz Jr. brought the name Billy Baxter to the company. Over the years, he wrote a number of short stories featuring the character Billy Baxter, who was a hapless sort always getting in and out of scrapes of one kind or another. There was always a "lesson" to the stories and they were published locally. As the character became famous, the company used the name for their line of sodas, featuring ginger ale. Another interesting fact about the Red Raven Company is the red cross on the label. When the Red Cross organization was formed, it asked that all others be prohibited from using the symbol so it would become unique and immediately recognizable around the world. The Red Raven company was using the red cross before that time, and was the only company allowed to keep it as part of their advertising and product labelling. They also used a red raven which can be found on large serving trays advertising their ginger ale and club soda. Your bottle with the label is not a common one, most are found without the label.

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 6/7/2006 8:12:28 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 112 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Hi- Wow, what great embossing. There are a number of Golden Age "brand" ginger ales, one from Houston and another from Quebec, but I don't think the company name was Golden Age. Yours shows that it is from Golden Age Ginger Ale Company which I have not seen before. Great find. (in reply to JGUIS) Post #: 169

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 6/16/2006 3:03:13 PM    cobaltbot Posts: 1693 Joined: 4/7/2006 From: Delta, PA Status: offline Here's one of mine.  no slug plate  FRANK WHIPP/ THE GINGER ALE MAN/ ROXBOROUGH, PA.       W on base slightly aqua Some dings on the base but I kept it anyway.  Always wondered about "The Ginger Ale Man?"

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 6/16/2006 8:43:32 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 112 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Hi Cobaltbot, Have also wondered about Frank and why he was called the ginger ale man. It's a great bottle. There is a blob top quart version of that bottle that I missed getting recently- the crown top in my collection is an early one with an applied top- anywhere from 1890s to early 1900s. Tough to date those transition bottles exactly. What is funny about your posting is that not three days ago I was thinking about the Ginger Ale Man and sent an inquiry to a local historical society about Mr. Whipp. The Roxborough area is now part of greater Philadelphia. Will let you know what I find out! (in reply to cobaltbot) Post #: 174

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 6/30/2006 8:58:55 AM    cobaltbot Posts: 1693 Joined: 4/7/2006 From: Delta, PA Status: offline Wow this thread should be a record breaker, I could see how you could spend a lifetime collecting these guys.  If you could find so go withs from Frank Whipp, the ginger ale man that would be right up your alley!  Might of even had a ginger ale car, a York, Pa bottler had a Nehi car and a Chero-cola car.  Once I found a six pack (just the bottles ) in the woods of the ribbed 8 oz Canada Dry bottles made by Owens Illonois in 1937.

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 8/6/2006 8:25:40 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 112 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Hi Mitch- Sorry for the long delay in responding- July was a very busy time- and just couldn't get back to the forum. I have not seen the paper label version of the Temagami Dry from Canada. Depending on the collector and the condition, it could be anywhere from $15 to $25 US. The bottle I have is an ACL version with a nice mountain scene- it is not too hard to find. Thanks for posting- and sorry for the delay. . . (in reply to mitchellt) Post #: 179

RE: Ginger Ale Bottles wanted - 11/11/2006 10:02:46 PM    Ginger Ale collector   Posts: 112 Joined: 6/16/2005 Status: offline Hi Everyone- been very busy- I noticed that Irish found a Rowlands Ginger Ale from down under and asked about any other bottles in a similar blob top form. He was right, there are some from England. The English bottle making style for blob top soda was to have a large fat rounded blob, which is different in the US, the blob tops were smaller and a different shape. Here are three ginger ales, left one is Durrant from Hertford, England, middle one is from Ireland ( not embossed), and the last is Culverhouse from London.
