found more soda cans and a Crush bottle

[RCO]

went back to the location I found most of the cans at last fall if you remember my post , I walked around the area a bit and found a new area of cans , however this area was in hardwood trees not evergreen trees like other and the cans didn't seem to be as well preserved .

similar age and same brands mostly , found pepsi , coke , 7 up , diet 7 up , grand prix -cola , tonic water and lemon lime , fresca , hires , Fanta - orange , carlton club - cola , howdy ? unknown flavour too rusty , Canada dry , Canada dry - tonic water , orange crush , wilsons ginger ale.
also 1 beer can for Carling Red Label but too rusty to see

also some large no deposit bottles , one had a cap for coke , another for Wilson's the green bottle so a ginger ale .

wasn't much that cleaned up well , was a 7 up , Hires Root Beer , Fanta Orange had a lot of colour , don't often find older Fanta cans in good condition for some reason , always seem to be poor condition , actually one of the nicer ones I've found so far


hadn't seen the Grand Prix - Lemon Lime before but doesn't surprised me that line had such a flavour as that brand seemed to have just about everything , but didn't clean up well despite having some colour left

RCO, what is the brand for the can with all the diamonds? When I was a kid my dad would take me fishing near Sault Ste Marie Ont. a place called Echo Bay. This was in the early 70's (likely 1971) and the the guy who ran the hut at the dock sold that brand of soda. My dad would buy me one every trip, I loved the flavours and the design. Huge memory flash back seeing that can. We rented a row boat to fish for northern pike. Thanks for sharing. They cleaned up nice.

the cans with the diamond is " Grand Prix " a store brand made for dominion grocery stores . it comes in several different flavours .

so far I've found - ginger ale , cola , grape , lemon lime , cream soda , tonic water , club soda . I'd imagine there is also at least a root beer and orange can as well


its kind of trick photography , often the cans I find look nicer in the pictures I post then in reality , the lemon lime can had a lot of damage on the back and really wasn't worth keeping .

however I added the nicer of the 2 Hires root beer , Fanta orange and 7 up can to my growing display in the garage . I had been looking for some of the old Fanta cans so glad to find one worth keeping

on Saturday I poked around some more roadside locations and such , a lot of modern stuff , didn't find any old metal cans .

did find a diet coke stubby bottle which looks almost identical to the one I found last weekend , also another common coca cola and a Browns Beverages Gravenhurst bottle broken at the neck

not pictured I also found several old buckets near a swamp across from an old building , might go back to see if any are worth salvaging , some appeared to be fairly old and different types of metal / designs , no sign of any bottles dumped nearby though

went out and poked around another nearby location earlier today , its a railway location had been a train station until late 70's I believe but they don't stop there now

seemed to be more variety in terms of brands but most of the stuff was in bad condition , maybe when they cleaned the train they throw some out there ? or people dumped them there at some point

some of the brands found included - pepsi , coca cola , crush - orange , lime , grape , Canada dry , Canada dry - wink , howdy - cream soda , ginger ale , Wilson's - honee orange , hires , squirt , mountain dew , 7 up , sprite , V 8 , pure spring ginger ale , mason's - ginger ale , c plus orange ,

also found another common coca cola bottle ( which is the 4th one I've found this spring all in entirely different places ) and a screw top medical bottle

 

[RCO]

some of them didn't clean up obviously , you can see the green can of far left its all that's left of the lime crush just wondered if that's really what it was as I hadn't found one before

the mountain dew can has a contest on it " win your wheels " and features a vintage car


little left of the squirt , another can I had never found before . not much remained of the howdy cream soda , hadn't found that flavour before either


can on far left in second picture is an odd one , smaller than normal , little remained but I was able to see a logo , for " FBI " grape drink , apparently sold in Canada in the 70's ? maybe disappeared soon after

Mason's ginger ale one of the better finds , never seen that one before . had found a mason's cola a couple years ago , not that familiar with the brand , believe its from Toronto but also mason's cans in US but I don't think its a common can

little left of the Wilson's honee orange , can start to see the orange showing and Wilson's logo on top , never found this can before either

and 2 different pure spring ginger ale cans , think the second one is older but its not in good shape rusted and peeled in word . not sure if I've found a pure spring can before but there not super common here to find

I think FBI was a Quebec thing, the ACL bottles are quite common in Montreal and I've never seen them anywhere else. Never seen a can version though. Never heard of Mason's either, nice find!

I was surprised by the number of cans I found there which I had never found before ( howdy - cream soda , crush - lime , wilsons - honee orange , FBI grape drink , Mason's ginger ale , pure spring , squirt , mountain dew win your wheels can )

it makes you wonder what else is out there rusting away waiting to be found .

the mason's ginger ale is definitely Canadian , you can't read the writing on the side but it had a Toronto distributor but unsure where it would of been sold . I think Mason's was more known for its cola . but it might of had a full line of products back in the ( 60's - 70's ) I'm assuming it didn't last past then . so could also be a Mason's orange , root beer etc
