A trip to Granny & Grumpa's Antiques...and a few bottle additions !

[Canadacan]

Hope you all like the extra photos as it ties in with Sunday's adventure at Granny & Grumpa's!...and yes I'll get to the bottles soon


Here are a few picture of the grounds.












Here is one you don't get to see often!.....one of the original forgotten War machines!... a D8 cat that helped build the Alaska Highway during WWII!
















































Now for some pictures from inside...and in no way do these really convey how much stuff is here!....just about anything you can imagine its here!




This was just one Wall of plates!....I believe there was 3!

Ok here is the bottle stuff!

I was here last year but never got a chance to pick up any bottles, this time I grabbed around 30+, and managed to get one of his wall bottles....which he dose not like to sell! ..lol


The Wall consists of about 900+ bottles...he says they are for sale, catch is you gota buy em all!



Looking from the opposite end.


Some of the 700-900 bottles on the floor that are for sale


So I grabbed a box and found a few I could use!



My final take at home...actually missing 2 in this photo as I ran out of ledge!


Got 3 variations of Sun Crest!... first bottle is a really early no checkered 11 oz marked Wynola Corp. Ltd Toronto on the bottom...I think its dated 1941. The last bottle you will note is a slender 10oz marked Bell bottling-Winnipeg ,Manitoba. Center bottle is standard 10oz.


Bottom of early 11oz Sun Crest

Regular bottom of 10oz Sun Crest


Picked up two Kist bottles in 11oz ...one of them marked Cross & Co. Vancouver!...never seen that size out here before.


Bottom of the Kist's with the RD. 1939.......both bottles are dated 1942.....I just cant see these being from 1952?, but I need more examples to study.


My prize from the Wall!...I managed to sweet talk him into selling it to me


Another cool new to me was this 'Big' from Grand Prairie, Alberta


And another paper diet 7up variation that was full... had to have especially with the 1978 Super Man crown!

Great post! Love all the pics. Especially love the 7up bottles. Do all Canadian 7up's have red as the background color? I need some for my collection. Looks like a great place to check out. Thanx for sharin!

Iggy just the diet and sugar free 7up had the red background.
RCO three was the odd Ontario bottle hiding in there, this was one of them, from Collingwood?....also several USA ones mixed in.

the Jackson from collingwood , I have that one , there is a few around , it wouldn't be that hard to find in an antique store in that area .
what is the bottle beside the stubby ? it looks odd

also on the weekend saw a Manitoba bottle , well actually saw it before , a local collector/antique dealer has it in his mix of bottles for sale , at first I thought it was older but now think its from 40's or 50's from Portage la Prairie , Manitoba - portage bottling works , sort of art deco type bottle , know anything about it ?

 

[Canadacan]

Yes I know the bottle you mean....just past one up a while back because the case wear was too heavy, I have no history on the brand...its a cool bottle.
The bottle beside the Stubby is a G & J Watt....I have to do more clean up on it though as its so dirty, grabbed it because it was a script variant to the one I have and is older.
As you can see it is a generic bottle.




The G&J I have already...dated 1956....marked as a 7oz



The bottle I just got with the stylized script in writing...dated 1948 and marked as 6.5oz

I've never heard of that place before, I'll have to head out there if I ever end up in Abbotsford one day! That's a good score on the Nanaimo Bottling bottle, I have the white on red version in not so great condition, but never managed to get one like yours.
Where are the Mr. Pops from? I just noticed a Mr. Pop from Penticton on Ebay recently. That's another BC bottle that I didn't know existed, but it looks like they were a franchise. I can also make out a Felix, a Second to None, and a Giant Drink from Nelson, any other BC ones I'm missing? What's the one to the right of the Giant Drink? Or to the left of the Stubby?

 

[Canadacan]

Its a cool place...there is a lot of just junk stuff there too!..lol. Those NBW seem so tough to find in good condition, in fact just finding one is amazing!...hope to get a couple of other toughies from him but I'll have to pay up for them. Yea the Mr. Pop is from Penticton, I have not seen any other Canadian cities in those bottles as of yet...so I don't know if they were franchised or not. I think you got all the BC ones....I notice the Second to None is a product from McCulloch's Aerated Waters, Vernon BC.
The other bottles are a King Size from Purity bottling works. Lethbridge...the other is a paper label Malkins Best, Lemon Flavor concentrate that makes Lemon soda!...had 1/10 of benzoate soda in it. It's also from Vancouver.
