Cleaning up the basement I found 3 bottles I fished out of Balsam Lake near Lindsay Ontario nearly 20 years ago. As my username indicates, I am not a collector, just curious about the botttles' history and if they're worth anything to anybody. In my 60's now and for the life of me, I never saw these bottles when I was growing up. I have no reason to say why I held on to these in particular, maybe it's the glass embossing but here's the descriptions.
One is Vess Dry, looks like a green skirt. Along with VESS DRY on both sides there are the words at the top reading " REGISTERED" on one side and "6 1/2 FLD OZS.' on the other. Near bottom one side says "6 1/2 OZs." and the other reads "BOTTLE PATENTED". At the very bottom underneath is a triangle with what looks like a faint 'C' inside it. When observed more closely it looks as if the bottle has two seams. Bottle 8 3/4" tall
2nd one reads KUN*Z (Embossed handwriting) with the words "BEVERAGES" below it on one side and the other side reads "FIRST FOR THIRST". Bottom edge reads "CONTENTS 8 OZ" and the very bottom has a 6 point star with a symbol that looks like a 'U' with some other squiggle within it. The words "TRADEMARK REGISTERED" are also on the bottom but run along the bottom rim. This bottle also has seams. Bottle 8 1/4" high.
3rd bottle has the word "COKE" printed within a diamond on one side along with the words "10 FL. OZ" & "Trade Mark Registered". Other side has "COCA.COLA" in handwriting with the same other words contained in the opposite side diamond as mentioned previous. One side in English reads "NO DEPOSIT NO RETURN" while the other says en Francais "NI DEPOT NI RETOUR" On the bottom one can read "COCA-COLA LTD" with an 'L' & a '9' at opposite ends of a symbol. Below that is the number '10'. Bottle is 7" high with seams.
