Hi all New to forum[
]....I wanted to sort of revive the can kids post about a Canadian Coke bottle he got back in 2012.He never provided enough pics to come to a real conclusion but it seemed in the end it may not have been that rare bottle he thought.... or was it?I'm going to copy and past some corespondence I had with a fellow from Eastern Canada this year, finally explaining what my bottle was that I dug up in Nanaimo BC back in 1987...this was posted to the Rusty Bunch site.Where is this Coke bottle from? gooday all...signed up just to answer this question...
Canada, roughly 1919 to 1920
they came in aqua, nice mid blue, teal to green and clear (the rarest)
these are cast from very early 1915 US molds with patent date peened out
there is one ealier that is like these, only in blue and actually has US patent date.
later Canadian bottles are clear, heavier and dates starting about 1932
i have a multitude of transisition bottles from the 1920-1932 period, all very rare
and desirable - if you are a Canadian collector
I have been collecting these since I dug my first one 30 yrs ago
no cites on Canadian bottles post 1910 or so. I got more than my answer, I got a whole new education on these bottles!...here is the link to the post.http://www.therustybunch.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=164&t=25858&hilit=coke+bottle Look for the diamond with a 19 inside...located on the lower heel.This may answer some questions that some collectors have been wondering about. Sorry just have one picture attached for now till I figure this out. Edit>removed first broken linkAdmin
