Had a great day and added some labels I needed, upgraded a couple as well. This store was featured in the second season of Canadian pickers. Ken the owner is a super nice and cut me a good deal!. He said he moves about a container a week of good through his store! The first pic is my take from today, and a nice Coke disc from inside. I left behind the Wonder Beverages...any good that one?..is it tough to get?[attachment=Cool_finds_at_Napiers01.jpg][attachment=Cool_finds_at_Napiers10.jpg][attachment=Cool finds at Napiers8.jpg]

Ooh, a green Clear Springs Pop Shop! I didn't know that one existed. And what's the one to the left of the NDNR bottle? It looks BC-ish. And where's the Cold Spring bottle from? Looks vaguely familiar, but I don't think it's from BC.

Yea the green Clear springs is a first for me, although I did see one years agowith a weathered ACL but can't remember if it was clear springs or another bottler. The one beside the NDNR is Jackson Bottling out of Moose Jaw, Sask. And the Cold Spring is Bowmanville, Ont., I do not really pursue eastern soda's of Canada per se.....but I will make an exception from time to time!..lol....especially with cool snow dripping lettering!...I could not resist.The Cokes are 16oz!!!...dated 70 & 72....no 16's in Pepsi and no 12oz 7up on the hunt...but I up graded my 28oz 7up! and it's marked Vancouver.The label & bottle is near mint...just has a tiny bit of black spotting below the 7......that was the last bottle I grabbed and he threw it in for 5 bucks![attachment=clear springs.jpg][attachment=cold spring.jpg][attachment=Jackson.jpg]

Oops, yeah I definitely had a 16 oz Coke and sold it for cheap when doing some purges of my collection this year. Never knew it was something unusual. And oh, I know why the Cold Spring bottle looks familiar, that's the same design as the Penticton Purity Products bottle.

I think the 160z were less comon?...I don't remeber seeing them much. Those two I picked up as luck would have it the 1970 is the short C version and the 72 is the long C version. I will post some pictures in a few hours as I have a question about them.Do you know Pacific Dry, Nelson bottling works? Is their bottle design generic? It's the one right behind the 28oz 7up..I can post a better pic if you need.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Pacific Dry. I know the bottle but don't have one. I'm pretty sure that one's an original design actually. A picture would be great, since there isn't one online and I'm not sure I've ever seen one in person. I think I might only know of it from one of the old BC books, which doesn't have a good picture. What's the one to the left of that, by the way? Is that one from BC? Doesn't look familiar but I'm still finding out about new BC bottles all the time. That SCONR (is that what it says? Weird name) looks interesting too, but doesn't look like something from BC.

Here is the Pacific Dry, Nelson Bottling works, Vancouver BC ...dated 1944. they were around from about 1942-52, and they were also the Pepsi distributer. The Scona is from Calgary...I love the graphic on it hey! [attachment=Pacific Dry-Nelson...ona Beverages1.jpg][attachment=Pacific Dry-Nelson...cona Beverages.jpg]

Sorry I can't answer any of your questions on the Cokes, I really don't know much about the national brands, never paid much attention to them, except Seven Up because they have local bottlers' names on them. Yeah I'm almost positive the Pacific Dry is an original mold, the generic ones almost always had room to put a lot of information on them if the company wanted to. They had a stoneware ginger beer too, now that's one I'd like to get my hands on! Only BC stoneware I've ever managed to afford is the Felix Distributors one, which is probably the most common ginger beer in Canada. And that's a great graphic on the Scona! Here's an unrelated question, what's your favourite BC ACL? I'm torn between Goodwill Bottling with the map and Paul Beverages with Ogopogo.

Hey no problem at all!...that's the fun thing about this hobby we are always learning new things..and to be honest I had no idea about the 16oz Canadian Cokes till this year!...always thought that was just a USA size.That Pacific Dry is an 8oz bottle....it has to be an original... do you know off the top of your head many generic bottles in that size?Is Felix distributors and Felix bottling one in the same company?...I have a Felix GA in paper label!...which reminds me I left behind a crusty looking 6-6.5 oz Felix ACL last week..I may have to go get it because I think it's scarce, and I forgot to take a pic.. :(I have no stoneware...never took the leap, so many are up there price wise like you said.So may favorite BC ACL...that's hard!....but to make it easier to decide I'll add..that you own..lol ...umm gona go with Nanaimo Bottling's bottle cap logo...always loved that bottle!....and speaking of Ogopogo, a friend of mine just picked a 7oz of that bottle up for me! Goodwill's map is pretty awesome too! and Island's HBC fort is up there too.Got an all time any Canadian ACL favorite?
