Lucky Strike Bottling Works Ltd. Vancouver B.C.
I obtained this "quart" with label from another collector a few months ago. The same collector had an embossed 10 oz bottle that went to a third party. I'll see if he is okay with posting pics of that as well.- Historical-Info-Service

So I came across this story from 1998. It indicates that the new Thorpes came out in 1996. And there were 12 flavours.- Historical-Info-Service

I have no idea how to put in text after an image is added, or to delete a post. So the ad above is introducing Double A on Dec 26, 1939.- Historical-Info-Service

Rumming's - Nanaimo B.C.
Feel free to message me directly. I think I can give you a ballpark number for what you are looking at, but will need to see some pictures and know some specifics about the green Pick & Shovels, which Mitchell bottle, and which Adams and Lawrence (I do not have one of these, but have plenty of...- Historical-Info-Service

7up Vancouver B.C.-Country Club Beverages Company Limited.
Yes, what Canadacan said. There were 8 bubbles above the one legged swimgirl through 1946. In 1947, when ingredients were added to the labelling, the number was reduced to 7, the girl was given two feet, and she was also made a bit more shapely and her head leaned back more. With the...- Historical-Info-Service

Rumming's - Nanaimo B.C.
This is my John Mitchell-Rummings-Island Bottling collection. I know I am missing a Mitchell Hutchinson, a vertical embossed Rummings crown top, and an Island Bottling "ketchup" bottle (basically the Island version of the Rummings that Canadacan posted at the start). I heard a rumour that...- Historical-Info-Service

Cross & Co. Vancouver B.C. 1894-1963
Well, I have seriously upgraded my "Black Bear Brand" collection. Need one upgraded, but I am happy with what I have now. Added one other generic, but period correct, Cross & Co bottle for kicks. I have other Cross & Co bottles but they aren't part of the Black Bear line-up.- Historical-Info-Service

7up- 1953-1986 Canada
Been awhile since an update. I have one more for you. It's not in my collection, but it is confirmed. Cranbrook BC - Selkirk Soft Drinks. The company started operation in 1954 or 1955, but unconfirmed when they began bottling 7-Up. The bottle shown (from a friend's collection) is from the...- Historical-Info-Service

7up- 1953-1986 Canada
Hi Terri, I have had at least 4 Nanaimo 7 Ups but they have all been from the same time frame (mid-50s) so all have been shield labels, jumbled Fresh up on the back. I'd love to see other examples from Nanaimo, but none have surfaced so far. I spend a fair amount of time looking on the Island...- Historical-Info-Service

7up- 1953-1986 Canada
8 bubble refers to the number of bubbles around the 7 Up logo. If you show me the backs/bottoms of those two bottles, I can tell you the dates. I need to look at the various (25) swim girl bottles in my collection and see if there is a distinct patter to the number of bubbles above the head...- Historical-Info-Service

7up- 1953-1986 Canada
the bottles with "fresh up" (no capitals, not jumbled) first appeared in 1960. I have 12 oz bottles from April/May with that font (Regina, no city), but also with the "jumbled" font (Vancouver). In 7 oz bottles, I don't have any overlap - April/May are the jumbled font (Regina), and Nov/Dec...- Historical-Info-Service

Cross & Co. Vancouver B.C. 1894-1963
I have that one in my collection - the Dominion date code is C <D> 2, so either 1942 or 1952, as the letter coding was used until mid-1953. But if Canadacan has seen them dated 1938, I'd lean towards 1942, which would make it a fairly early ACL Cross & Co bottle- Historical-Info-Service

7up- 1953-1986 Canada
Ha ha. I had never seen it before and as far as I know I was only missing 3 bottlers from western Canada, so I bought it yesterday!! Saw this post about 15 minutes ago when I came on here to see if Prince Albert was listed and said to myself "that bottle sure looks like the one I just bought."- Historical-Info-Service
