Embossed maple leaves

marting11 · May 4, 2014

Hello, I've found these two bottles in a dump in southern Quebec. They are 12.5 inches tall and they have maple leaves embossed all over them. They also have a very light amethyst shade. My best guess is maple syrup. Has anyone seen these before and know more info about them?

Thanks!

Cool looking bottles, they look like they could have held Maple Leaf Whisky?Probably a syrup, just doesn't have the "syrupy" bottle shape to it.

Looks just like the Rose's Lime juice to me, (from that picture) what's the difference? I know you are Canadian but are you sure those are MAPLE leaves?

Agreed, lime water, either Rose's or Lytle & Co.'s (Toronto) -- can't recall which had the vine and leaf pattern.

Actually, it's hard to tell if they are maple or vine leaves. But I didn't even think of vine leaves in the first place so thanks for pointing me in that direction. The shape of the bottle does look like a lime juice bottle but I didn't find this exact one on Google. I didn't find pictures of the Lytle & Co one though, so that could be it.
Here are a couple close-up pictures.

With you being a Canuck (certainly no offense meant, I love Canadians except those who whip the tar out of my Pee Wee hockey Grandson [

]) I would think you know what a Maple Leaf looks like. (Or maybe this Yank is sorely mistaken.) That leaf has 5 sections / points. Doesn't a Maple Leaf have only 3? I'm still pretty certain it is a Lime Juice bottle. Now I'm curious. Really, I'm not trying to be a Smart A**

Maple leaves do have 5 points. Here's a sugar maple leaf

In comparison, some vine leaves :

Both these leaves have a similar structure and the embossed pattern is probably not entirely accurate so honestly, it's hard to tell. The difference I can see is that on the embossed leaves, the lower 2 points are more pronounced and that would correspond to the maple leaf more than the vine leaf.

But yeah, it looks like a lime juice bottle.

Mea Culpa! My bad! Like I said, (I think), What do I know? I was going from memory which at 75 is failing fast. I think I'll keep my fingers quiet.
