    Get Me some Peanuts and Cracker Jack, Is this Jack?

    I purchased a large collection of depression glass, vases, dishes, etc. and found two small painted bottles. After a bit I realized they represented Sailor Jack and Bingo, the mascots for Cracker Jack popcorn. However, I have no idea who made it, age, or what they contained. Anyone here have...

    Help! M.J. O'Brien, Vernon B.C.

    I picked up a siphon bottle this week but I can't find out anything about it. Well, almost nothing. I did find an copy of an old photo of his bottling company in Vernon online from the Vernon Morning Star. It shows the interior of the building and says the company was called Vernon Springs...

    Which book on bottles would you recommend?

    I have been going through the different bottle books sold by Amazon and was wondering, if you could only have one guide on collecting bottles which one would you purchase? I would like something with Canadian bottles if possible.

    Just received another Felix Quinn soda out of Halifax. I thought it was the same as one I had previously but the lettering is larger and Halifax, N.S. seems lower and larger on the newer one. Are they from different dates or just different molds? Why are they slightly different? Any idea of...

    Victoria Creamery

    Hello, This is the third post on unknown bottles that I got when I purchased a collection. Does anyone have any info on this bottle. Age? Value? It was brought up from a diver off the coast of Victoria so I believe it has the satin appearance from being underwater. There are a few flea...

    Second of my posts of unknowns from the collection I purchased. I love this one because it has a huge barnacle attached. Does anyone know anything about the bottle? The bottle is around 5 1/2 inches in length. Thanks.
