noticed these bottles on ebay , hadn't seen either of them before although have seen the art deco bottle from this company


there is a plain but embossed " Currie Hassett " Saskatoon 7 oz bottle , which the seller wants a crazy $250.00 opening bid for . also highly doubt the stopper came with the bottle

this is the more common art deco style bottle , I've actually seen them before in antique malls in Ontario at least once I can recall , although I didn't buy it at the time

It's possible that the stopper came with the bottle, lighting stoppers were sometimes used on crown top bottles. Never seen it done for a Canadian soda before though. $250 seems like an awful lot for a Canadian ABM soda, that would probably make it Canada's most valuable ABM embossed soda if it's actually worth that much.

the stopper just doesn't look right to me , I doubt it was originally on the bottle


no idea as to the value or rarity , Saskatoon has always been fairly big , in the 20's / 30 's it seems to have been around 30,000-40,000 people . (plus likely many more people in the rural areas outside the city )

think the bottle is likely from the 20's or 30's not 1910's , bottles with contents 6 1/2 oz on the side are rarely from the 1910's

Saskatoon has grown a lot and there is more money in the area now due to oil and gas but I doubt anyone would pay $250 for such a bottle unless they had to have it

I have to agree with RCO on the stopper not being original to the bottle. It looks like the wire was broken off a little when they untwisted it from another bottle. If it was original to that bottle the twist would have been a lot cleaner and not look like it was just hooked together.

Yeah I see what you mean about the wire now, it does look like it's been messed with. Kind of an odd thing to do, maybe someone had a broken top with the stopper.

The closure on the $250.. bottle is either a Lighting closure (1875-1910) or a Hutter closure (1893-1920).
I'm thinking the latter...Hutter.
The only sure way to tell if it is original is to dig it yourself or with the company name stenciled on the top.
They were used on the early crown top bottles as well as tooled top bolbs.
Another example...

I dug this exact bottle up last summer but the top was broken off. Awesome to see it as a whole.

I found a 28 oz. Orange Pop bottle with one of those stoppers. It is Canadian and appears to be original. I also have two Ontario bottles that look similar to the Saskatoon bottle. Hopefully the pictures show Ok.
