no I don't recall seeing it before , its from Chatham Ontario and that is a long way south of where I live so I wouldn't come across bottles from that area or see them much in stores around here , according to the listing it sold for $50 so I'd suspect its fairly uncommon

Yes they are tough to find, the bottles that interest me most though are the root beer and green label.

It's been a while since I've had anything new to add and I almost forgot about these green Kist ginger ale's I picked up from a friend. I know there is also the one with 'Green Label' on it that one day might come my way, but for now I'm just happy to have some green!

And a few months back I managed to get two first generation Kist cans!..although they are not in top condition they display very well.
These came in flat tops originally, my examples are from the late 60's to very early 70's and have pull tops. Kist cans are very difficult to obtain in any condition.

I'm not sure that I've ever found a Kist can in the wild here , lots of there bottles over the years but I would agree there cans aren't common

And I just acquired the 28oz embossed!...finally! It' a little rough on the top lip and has some case wear, could also use a good cleaning, but otherwise it pretty good.
It's made by Consumers Glass so I can't get a year from it, but I believe it's a bit later then my 6oz and 7oz because the font is all capitalized.

That 28oz bottle is beautiful.
I've been keeping my eye open for one of those too.
Very nice find!

Really enjoyed reading through this thread. Great info !
Here’s a Quebec version Kist bottle I have with the acl/deco design.View attachment 219332


not sure I've seen that quebec kist version before

did find a vintage Kist advertisement in the Barrie Newspaper though , for Orillia Kist Beverages and mentions a bottle cap contest , think it was from the early 60's , features the red and white acl bottle
