Great bottle you have there!...I unfortunately don't know anything about it, could not find anything online either...it's kind of in there with my Orange Dandy Co. bottle that I suspect it from Quebec?....but really just a beautiy of a bottle!

Neat looking deco bottle. I did a quick search but could not find a single reference for the Orange Canada Company, nor a picture of the same bottle. It might be what I call a one-hit-wonder from a short-lived bottler. However, along the way I came across this Orange Crush article and thought it might be of interest to Canadian collectors. By saving it you should be able to crop it into segments and get a better look at the text and the various Canadian bottling plants, which are dated. From ...

I cropped one of the pictures from the article and thought I'd show you how it turned out ...

Newspaper.com seems to have papers the others don't have...one of them is the Ottawa Journal, that is far enough east that it might have something.

Interesting!...stumbled upon this book just now, I don't know if it's still in print?....there is some English text describing what the book has....also says it has a list of all bottlers. If you can find documentation of this bottler that'd be a good thing for you....that could turn out to be a very scarce bottle! http://clubout.voila.net/LIVRE.HTM

Montreal is a good bet. There was a brand of soda called Orange Montreal, put out by the Montreal Orange Company. The odd name coupled with the word reversal in the company name (CO could stand for Canada Orange Company) suggests that this might have been an ill-fated national version of the Montreal product. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/6-...REE-SHIP-/141195770852

I'm rather clueless about the bottles origin , but I do think its more than likely it came from a major city in eastern Canada as the smaller towns had there own bottlers and didn't have the financial resources to put out a bottle like this in the 30's . so that would leave Toronto , Ottawa , Montreal as most likely places its from . more than likely it didn't operate for very long back then and company didn't survive the depression .
