Hi StepBack... your bottle is uncommon.. it is the Canadian version of the Ward's bottles, described on p.27 and illustrated on p.28 of my book. Ivan has done a wonderful job in his description and pictures which he refers to. You certainly picked up an uncommon, almost rare O.C. bottle. Way to...
Ray, your spiral bottle with the stippling is certainly unique and one that I have never seen before. It does have some resemblances to the Canadian bottle shown on p.90, Fig.18 of my book, but only in the diagonal of the word Crush. There is a hint of stippling but certainly not that spiral...
No Ray, I am not doing anything other than following along with the occasional commentary. If I still had my collection, perhaps... as I have learned a lot from you fellow O.C. collectors in the past few years. I will await yourself and others to pick up the 'ball' and run on with it. I also...
Hi Kari... welcome. What an interesting and incredible Orange Crush bottle... I have studied Orange Crush bottles for many years including writing three editions of a book on such, and have never seen this bottle!! I researched a lot of bottles made by the Orange Crush Bottling Companies which...
Hi Arkansas.... looking through my book on Orange Crush bottles in the chapter on bottles made by one of many O.C. Bottling companies, I have pictures of two bottles from Morrilton, AK. Not having the bottles in my hands now, I can not tell you of any relation with JR High Grade Beverage...
Hi Ginny.... I hope my reply in a couple of emails covered it.... thanks for looking at Angelfire... one of the first articles I ever wrote. Your bottle is common, although I don't know many from a local bottle manufacturer or bottler in Vermont. The bottle is great shape, is common (except for...
Here are a couple of pictures from my book, showing the different size and shape of the Country Club amber, krinkly bottle, and the print on the backside.
Hi Hunter the Fox.... Michael here... been away and only got to see your Country Club Soda Mae West bottle... very nice and uncommon. In my book on p.62-63, I describe a squat, amber krinkly bottle from the Country Club Soda Co., Springfield, Mass. The bottles are unique in their shape -...
Can anyone help me with information on Camel Soda bottles from Western Mineral Water Co., St.Louis. Because of a love of camels, I have accumulated a small collection of bottles showing camels and wonder how common such bottles might be. All help appreciated.... thanks
Welcome KDixie27... with a better closeup of front and back ACL's, might be able to help a bit. Also measurements, height and diameter.
Thanks, Michael
Yes, Ray... it is a rare bottle... emailed Ron B. about it and he has seen one before. Perhaps that bottle, which is from North Carolina is unique to a particular North Carolina bottle manufacturer... such as the Leaksville, N.C. bottles...
Just running through an Orange Crush review... I still follow closely although don't collect any more... I while back you asked about my book. If you would like a copy at a reduced price with me, rather than Ebay, send me an email at mrosman@sympatico.ca
Have a good day, Michael
