my find from the weekend , found it at a small flea market south of North Bay Ontario which isn't anywhere near Oshawa but anyways was a guy there and he had a few bottles .


actually haven't seen this exact bottle before so I don't know much about it , its the same Decagon /10 angles design of bottle that was used by many other bottlers , however some of the others are much more common to find , base has a "consumers glass " triangle and says reg 1926 and its in really good condition


Savoy Beverages was located in Oshawa Ontario , which by the time this bottle would of been used was a booming factory/auto production city for GM , although likely still a lot smaller than it is today
listed in book as operating from 1937-1947

here is the JB ives Belleville , and 2 Renfrew Pembroke bottles

you seem to have a few of the bottles I have , I do have one of the Jersey Crème bottles but didn't post it cause it had 12 sides and not exactly the same as others but I agree it has a very similar design and from same time period as the others .


the IBW / international bottling works would be from Port Arthur Ontario according to my book , do you have a picture of it so we could see what it looks like ?

the Norton's drink bottle from Kitchener is fairly hard to find , I don't have one yet and haven't really seen any for sale , if you could post a picture of it that be helpful

have seen the Punch bottle before although I don't have one , found some pictures online of one
