I was wanting to see what all is out there in terms of Western themed bottles, paper and ACL. Anything related as in the mention of lets say, big sky, high country, Western, cowboy, or any native names and so on. As for what is depicted on the bottle...I'll post what I have so you get the idea of what qualifies.
Most of all let just have some fun with this!;)

These two are obvious!

Hats, rope lettering, wagons...cowboy on a mule?...yea!..lol

The Big...referring to big country.

Or High N Dry is a similar theme.

And of course the Calgary brand more than qualifies!

You get the idea now?....right? ;)

And I think that the iconic Mountie should be included because they helped bring law and order to wild west of Alberta when they formed the NWMP in 1873.

Although I concentrate on Canadian medicines and poisons, I've always fancied the First Nations image on the Saugeen Mineral Water Co.'s splits from Ontario (pic from canadianbottlecollectors.com)

Sorry that this is off topic, but Tall was an interprovincial franchise? I never knew that! I've got one of their bottles from Dawson Creek and I thought it was just a local brand. As for Western themed bottles, I don't think I really have any that aren't already posted, apart from maybe the Rumming's and Island bottles with the HBC Fort.

These are a little harder to see, but you have embossed Buffalo on the LT & Native American on the RT.
