LBJ Canada Dry

Falcon · Dec 2, 2010

Greetings everyone. I am new to this forum and thought ya'll might like to see a few bottles from my modest collection.
This is a bottle made for Vice President LBJ back in the early 1960's. One story is that they were made for only one party, out at his ranch. This one is still sealed
Cheers!

It's funny to see a "CANADA" DRY bottle issued for the vice president of the "USA"...

There used to be an AMERICA DRY bottler here, I wonder if they would've issued a bottle for CANADA'S prime minister [8D]

I have seen these bottles and have always wanted one. But they are pricey when you can find them!
Great bottle!

American Bottle Auctions auctioned one of those off a couple of years ago, I think from the Bryan Grapentine collection.

There was a lot of those bottles taken off the line while they were being made. I've seen em w/ one and two colors on them, far from complete. Talking w/ the head of the paint dept. at that time. He told me he got a crate of them at the time, down to four now.

Yep they were for a party to be given by the Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson after his and the president's arrival in Dallas in 1963. Unfortunately he wasn't much in the mood for partying after the tragedy of that day the end of which would find him President Lyndon B. Johnson. Interesting bottle with a tragic history.

It is my understanding that these bottles were a gift to LBJ for agreeing to be the keynote speaker at the National Bottlers convention in Dallas of 1963. Upon receiving this gift he planned to use them specifically for a Bar-b-que at his ranch that was cancelled due to President Kennedy's assassanation.
