the mysterious older looking clear bottle with no markings , unfortuently impossible to determine who used it and such .
also an A Schreiber beer bottle from Buffalo New York , likely from 30's or 40's according to what I saw online .

the one 7 up bottle is very early but in bad shape and too faded to photograph any of the acl , does have 8 bubbles and although faded writing on back matches to another early 7 up I have . and says on back its from Toronto ( 7 up Ontario )

a picture of the odd glass I found , unsure how old it is , figure 50's or earlier ? someone else I showed it to wondered if it was for ice cream floats ?

an 10 oz sprite with label intact , broken pepsi ndnr , broken coca cola , broken liquor bottle , broken aqua hutch bottle for John Verner Toronto , damaged 7 oz green bottle for Mcdonalds beverages " natural flavours" North Bay Ontario . and a fishing lure

the sprite bottle is in very good condition for having been in a river all this time , was sort of hidden in some sand so maybe that protected the label ?
