Hi. Your crossed cannons are actually crossed pencils with the letters R O U E around them.Lisa

I was under the impression that the crossed things were compressed air containers, perhaps for the CO2 used in soda bottling or maybe diving related.

Hello all,I just found this ginger beer and was hoping to get some information on this one (company info, dates in operation, scarcity, variations, etc etc). The bottle is embossed with James Roue Halifax N.S and the date 1903 in the center with what looks like crossed cannons (not sure). Also, it still has the internal screw stopper which is wooden. I am also 100% sure that the bottle is still filled with the original contents (other bottles I find in this area are still corked with contents as well). At the moment, the bottle is in a bucket of fresh water and it has not yet been cleaned. Should I clean it up? Should I empty the contents? Any advice and info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! I know that the 1903 date means that I should post it in the after 1900 section, but I figured that most ginger beers are prior to the 1900s, so figured that this was the better area to post.
