That one's really cool! I've never heard of Steinie before. There aren't any makers marks on it? I'm wondering if Steinie may have been some sort of franchise as well as a bottle size, I've never seen anything quite like it before. Looks like Macdonald's also had an amber version without the word "Steinie" on it http://northbayhistory.homestead.com/Beverage/_R153_-_Macdonald_s_Beverages__front_.JPG



I don't know exactly what " steinie " was , seems to be a style of bottle mostly used for beer but also some pop like Root Beer . the makers mark on my bottle is too thin to read although seen another that seems to have been made by Consumers glass according to bottom

other than that guys site I can't recall seeing an amber one in person before , haven't really seen that many of the steinie for sale before . other macdonalds bottles you see all the time but not this one

I also can't recall if the guy at bottle show with northern Ontario bottles had one for sale , I asked him about north bay bottles and he told me some of his sold almost immediately once show opened so didn't get to see them or exactly sure what ones he had

went digging this morning before it got really warm here . the dump is a bit bigger than I first realised and a couple smaller areas where it appears someone dumped things

found a lot of ketchup bottles , including an odd shaped one barely visible in pictures , many rusty oil cans , some jars and smaller bottles . found part of a broken milk jug but no names on it .

and a wide mix of broken pop bottles including , Canada dry , Stubby , coca cola , pepsi cola , crush , Kist , Browns beverages , macdonalds North Bay and a green beer bottle.

CB: "Your pictures don't seem to be working, I'm curious to see the North Bay bottle."

That may explain it but what do I know from nothing.

I want to go back now that chaotic long weekend is over , but worried bugs will be too bad to stay long . I was down that road yesterday and black flies were crazy , if I find anything i'll post it

when I drove by and looked at the area again , I could understand why I never previously though to check for a dump site back there . its simply so overgrown and likely looked a lot different when dumping took place , likely smaller and less trees and more grassey areas would of been nearby

not really into cars much so not sure what year this hub cap is from or even type of vehicle it was for ? truck ? or car

I looked around google and ebay and couldn't find one exactly the same , since it was upside down , the back is very rusty but front cleaned up well

Hubcap is late 40s to early 50s Truck. Love that steinie bottle.

that would make sense , was thinking it might be a bit older than the trash in the dump ( as dump seems to be late 50's till 60's ) . as being a rural dump likely used by a farmer or small town person . its likely they didn't buy a new truck every year and kept it for some time
