    A Few Nice Sodas.

    It has been quite a while since I last posted. I figured I would send out a few pics of some recent acquisitions.

    US Soda Bottles purchased at Canadian Auction (Help)

    I picked up a few milk crates full of old bottles, it was kind of a treasure chest as I went through them. I don't see to many US bottles but there were some in this mix. Any info you want to share will be appreciated as I know next to nothing about the US soda bottles. That Polar Cola is...

    Paper Label - Worth Collecting? Curious what the view is.

    Up until a few years ago I never thought to much about paper label soda bottles. But I had a few sneak into the collection and I found some kind of cool. I posted a Welch's Grape soda on the forum a couple years ago and it had good conversations about bottle date and UPC code intro. I...

    Estel's Toronto Ice Cold Drinks

    I bought this large crock style dispenser this weekend at a local online antique auction. I like the old dispensers. The description said it was circa 1920. Auction estimate was up to $400. I paid $100 for the thrill of learning more about it. Any info anyone has would be awesome.

    Some New Soda Additions...

    It has been pretty difficult adding to the collection this past year with lock downs and such. I was fortunate to get a couple bottles shipped and then meet up with fellow forum member @BillHaddo. This past week I wandered though an antique store for the first since last summer and that was...

    Pop Shoppe - Quick Read

    Growing up in the 70's this brand was a big deal. Very nostalgic brand for me. I came across this link and figured I would share. https://www.tvo.org/article/pop-culture-the-story-behind-canadas-iconic-soda-maker

    Brown Stubby Beverages - Worth the ask price?

    I had a fellow collector ask if I was interested in a brown 12 oz Stubby Beverage. Bottle is mint and he is asking $35. I hesitated at that price. Is it worth it? Pic is not the exact bottle. He also has a Sunnyside ACL from Toronto and a Vitality from Petawawa Ont he wants $20 each for...

    Lighting when taking pics of Embossed Bottles

    I have had trouble when I want to take pictures of embossed bottles. I can't seem to get the right light to pull the detail in the glass. I have tried a box with a top light. Taking pics against a white back ground and taken pics out side using natural light. The natural light option...

    O'Keefe OK Soda Dispenser Bottle?

    At an auction over the weekend I picked up what I thought was a soda dispenser bottle. The bottle is big, maybe 4 or 5 gallons. The embossing of "O'Keefe OK Toronto" is in fantastic condition. The bottle maker's mark looks like the Dominion Glass logo but has the capital letter "I" inside the...

    7-Up Paper Label (Lithiated, White Swim Suit, 8 Bubbles)

    I picked up a 30 label lot of old unused paper soda bottle labels from a local picker. He says these have been in his collection for 40 years. I am posting the 7-Up labels because they are just so darn cool. A note on the labels said that these are the first version of paper labels for 7-Up...

    A fellow collector selling continued...

    Here are a few more of the bottles I picked up from the collector selling. Proud to own these. The Cleco bottle seems to be pretty rare. Date code looks to be 1947. On the back they describe the flavours. One is Dr Pep (Not Dr Pepper) see the picture of the back of the bottle. The Mitchell...

    A fellow collector selling his collection on Kijiji. I had to pick some bottles up.

    I like to browse through online selling sites especially now that we are in self isolation. Kijiji and Facebook Marketplace are my two favourites, mainly because I find Ebay shipping way to expensive. This week I came across a guy selling parts of his 45 yr long collection. He had a number of...

    Ontario Pop/Soda Bottle Books

    I have been hunting for a few years with no success. I'm looking to purchase any ontario soda/pop bottle books. If you have one you would sell or know where I can get one please message. The ones I know of are not being printed currently. I would love to have a reference book.

    Kijiji Find....Nice Bottles

    Responded to a Kijiji ad this week. A guy was selling a large lot of pop bottles by the case. I asked if he would let me pick through as I can't buy a box of bottles and only want one anymore. No room to store. He agreed and charged me $20 for a nice assortment of 18 bottles that included...

    1960s-1990s Quart Paper Labels

    10 years ago I wouldn't have brought these bottles home. But now I get excited believing these bottles are survivors especially with the labels in such great condition. Picked up these and a bunch of doubles for about $.80 each. They are all 26, 28 or 30oz bottles. I am intrigued by the...

    1916-1919 Straight Side Coca Cola Canada

    I was recently in the Niagara Falls area and stopped at this little antique shop and saw this bottle for $15. It looks to be a 6.5 to 7oz bottle. Had to buy it. I am guessing it is 1916-1919 because the Coca Cola script is located up high, near the shoulder of the bottle. If wrong with date...
