Thought I’d post some bottles I have from Port Colborne, located in Southern Ontario in the Niagara region.
With a long history and a multi faceted industrial economy, it is located on Lake Erie near the Welland canal.
It has a long marine heritage.
Looking forward to seeing other bottles posted that are from this city...

This is a 6.5 oz from Ideal Soda Water Mfg. Co.
likely a 30-40s bottle from this beehive style.

Wow, you have such nice bottles. That's a great spot to photograph them.

I love the graphics on those Port Colborne ACLs, I've always wanted to get one but haven't come across one in person yet.
Interesting to see that 3-digit phone number on the Crown bottle as well, only ACL soda I can think of with a phone number on the front.

Port Colborne is not an area that I've ever been to inperson ( although I have been to Niagara falls before ) and not an area that I've specifically looked for bottles from

around 2015 when I was last in Niagara area I went to an antique mall in Niagara on the lake and found this bottle . not sure if I've posted it before or not ?

its for ' Chambers Beverages " port colborne , listed in book as F.S. Chambers 1929-1935

but also has " Crown Soda Water MFG Co " embossed on bottle and " property of F.S Chambers Phone 399 , Port Colborne "
