    Please help ID Orange Crush Bottle

    The number to the right of the Owens-Illinois logo on the base is the date code, so it's from 1951.

    need help

    i did a quick search on newspapers dot com, and I think this is the most likely candidate if it's in your neck of the woods (from the Bernardsville News, Aug. 25, 1911). This is the only thing that came up for this company, so presumably it didn't survive very long.

    Help with any info on these bottles

    The brown one is a beer bottle made by the Mississippi Glass Co. and dates from 1878 to 1884. https://sha.org/bottle/pdffiles/MississippiGlass.pdf

    Black Bear Brand

    Black Bear Brand is first advertised by Meikle Bros. in 1905. Meikle Bros. was taken over by Cross & Co. in 1908. Meikle used the same type of bottle, so presumably this is from not too long after the take over.

    First time poster - Farm Dump finds - Mystery bottle

    Mueller is a very common German name, and they dominated the beer business back then, so there were probably others as well (the 2 spellings are simply the German and the Anglicized spellings). But my info is from Pittsburgh papers on newspapers.com, so I'm referring to your Mueller, not the...

    Mueller was a bottler under his own name before joining the Pittsburgh Brewing Co.

    F & S Ltd, StH beer bottle

    Yup. When I come across wonky looking/sloppily made old bottles, I imagine they were made by disgruntled workers.

    F & S Ltd, StH beer bottle

    I found this bottle in Vancouver a couple of months ago, and wasn't able to identify it online until today. Toulouse ("Bottle Makers and their Marks") mentions the base embossing and that the StH referred to St Helens in the UK, but was unable to identify the manufacturer. I contacted Stephen...

    Aqua bottle, crown finish, kick up base

    Here's another anomaly I found in the same spot. A crown finish bottle (late teens-1920s) with a cork pushed inside. I thought the main purpose of a crown finish was for it to be capped. I suppose it could have been corked by the consumer?

    Aqua bottle, crown finish, kick up base

    Not sure if this is pre- or post-1900, as I can only date it from 1892-1920 based on the aqua colour & crown finish. It's mouth blown and about the size of a beer bottle, just under 10", but has a kick up base. The only embossing on it is "11-S" on the heel. I'm trying to get an idea of what was...

    Mitsuya Cider

    They have some nice bottles, but yeah, I thought some of their descriptions were suspect. A friend showed me a photo from the Egmont Museum, and there was one there too. Apparently they have a 10k collection of bottles from BC.

    Mitsuya Cider

    I found a match and info on the sha.org/bottle site. The one they reference came from an archaeological dig at a Chinese labour camp at a cannery in British Columbia. The only other one I found was on the Museum of Vancouver. They also have this similar one that they label "Brewery Regs. Ltd...

    Mitsuya Cider

    Mitsuya Cider bottle. Japanese, turn mold, 1911-1930s. This was the most popular soft drink in Japan (apparently it tastes something like Sprite + Ginger Ale), and is still going. Apparently these are as likely to be found in Chinese as Japanese immigrant sites. I found this in Stanley Park in...

    Vancouver Breweries Ltd questions

    Huh. The sloped shoulders are different too. If it's from the factory site, maybe it was a prototype bottle? Cascade was their flagship brand and they put a lot of resources into it, at least in marketing, so maybe they did some experimenting. Also, 1915 is when Coke came out with their...

    Vancouver Breweries Ltd questions

    An interesting bit of context I noticed when looking up Silver Top in the papers is that the first advertisement was published 3 weeks after prohibition in BC started.

    Vancouver Breweries Ltd questions

    Nice! I did look at Vancouver Archives photos (from the same photo shoot), and looked up when Dutch Girl, Gilt Edge, and Pilsener debuted, and they were all late 20s/early 30s. But I missed that one for some reason. That's the first clear Cascade I've seen. I guess they changed them up from time...

    Some creek finds from today

    I searched newspapers.com for vicks vatronol. The most recent entry is from Montana in 2008. Some one dug a bottle out of a dump, looked it up when he got home, and said it was still in business. Most recent before that was 2001, talking about how it was being restricted because it contained...

    Vancouver Breweries Ltd questions

    What I think I know: Vancouver Breweries Ltd quart beer bottle, manganese, mouth blown, cup-bottom base, crown top (missing), 1918 or earlier. What I want to know: What was in it? Cascade, their most popular beer brand, came in an amber bottle. Did they have another one in a clear bottle? Or...
