I have a ton of MacDonald Beverages but not the Steinie. Really nice find.

looked back at the pictures you posted , forgot there is 2 versions on this bottle ,

yours say " Macdonalds Beverages " natural flavour

the bottle I dug is similar but says Steinie instead of beverages , so maybe the steinie version is harder to find

I only have ever found 2 and they both came from the same dump

found a picture online of a complete 30 oz macdonald and son bottle like the broken one I dug up

it was in a local auction a couple years ago but you can see its embossed on the bottom and neck " temagami dry " , would of likely also had a paper label

So I have 2 McDonald’s bottles 1 clear and 1 green. Can you tell me how old they are and if they are valuable? We also found these Pepsi cola bottles and Yahoo Mountain Dew stubby bottles in the same area. Do you know anything about them?

the pepsi no deposits and mountain dew no deposit are from the mid to late 60's era

the mountain dew is less common but unsure of an exact value , I have 1 that I found swimming a couple years ago

the clear macdonalds is fairly common , 50's or 60's era , the green one I see much less of , be from the same era

do you live in the north bay area or were they found somewhere else ?

I live in the Englehart area.

Macdonalds Beverages had a branch in New Liskeard and Timmins , it was a northern Ontario bottler not just in North Bay

so would of been widely available in your area back then

I live around Huntsville and actually find the odd Macdonalds bottle around here too
