Evangeline Beverages ltd - art deco bottle found swimming

[RCO]

pulled this bottle out of the lake the other day , at a spot where i've found many bottles before but not one for Evangeline Beverages ltd . in fact don't recall ever finding this bottle in my area before other than maybe a tiny piece of a broken one once

unortuently the neck part is broken off but rest of bottle in good condition . mostly known as an east coast brand and more typically found in Nova Scotia / New Brunswick . was also bottled in Ontario according to my books in the 30's 40's so thats likely when this bottle is from


embossed " Bottled by Evangeline Beverages LTD , EVANGELINE , Design reg'd , contents 12 fl oz

Nice find! And even more fun that you found it while swimming. Did you see a slight glimmer and go for it?

I'm a bit more toward the southern point of the compass in CT. Only found one in over 30 years. Its exactly like yours, except intact.

no the bottles are hidden in the sand/bottom there , use a stick to feel for them and wear gloves

Instead of a stick, would a long metal probe like a shish kebob skewer find glass versus rock by the sound transmitted through the metal?

likely too deep to use something like that , for the location and depth

When you said Evangeline, I was thinking someone was digging down here close to the Bayou state!! If you're ever driving thru Evangeline parish, better slow down

That is a St Catharines Bottle (Niagara Falls Area). Bottled by Morin Beverages at one point. You see them around for $5-$15 typically. Beautiful bottle.
The Poem of Evangiline by Longfellow refers to the Acadian struggles a couple hundred years ago. Makes sense that the brand is in Nova Scotia and that there is a Parish in Louisianna. Not sure what the connection to the Niagara Falls area would be.
