just came across this one on ebay , not the 7 up bottle I though might exist from there but a locally marked pepsi cola bottle . never seen it before either

its from a local bottler called " Browning Harvey Limited " which operated in St Johns Newfoundland and still appears to be bottling pepsi today .

the bottle is an older pepsi bottle from the late 1940's , 12oz , seller refers to it as a double dot bottle . condition is ok but missing some paint and colour .

lots of odd markings - " St John NFLD " in white paint on back neck , " Browning Harvey Limited " St Johns Newfoundland , Pepsi Cola co NY " on back

also has a duraglass marked bottom , common in US but not in Canada , appears to indicate its from 1946 . newfoundland didn't join Canada until 1949 so appears bottle is from a couple years before that .

Your bottle is a early 1930-50's styled painted label pepsi bottle.They started the twist rib bottle in the 1950's on.The other one looks like the same style with out the painted label on it or it was lost due to the elements.I have one like it,but a small painted on label is visible.--k6tim
