7up- 1953-1986 Canada

[RCO]

That's cool....my all French in marked Montreal.
So the phrase , "Le Breuvage Qui " Ravigote " basically translates to 'the drink that delights' or in another search it adds an r to the end and means ' to perk up'

makes sense there'd be an all French Montreal 7 up , bit of a surprise to find an all French Ottawa 7 up . bottles entirely French wouldn't be common to find from Ottawa , can't think of many if any , but doubtful this bottle used in Ottawa , likely bottled there but being sent to somewhere nearby that was largely French like Hull / Gatineau area

the city had some bilingual bottles ? feel like those would be more common than one entirely French

Wow that's a great find! Definitely never seen that one before, I doubt it's at all common since even the English Ottawa bottles are pretty rare finds. It was a fairly common practice for companies in Montreal to have a bottle in each language if they had wide distribution, I suspect that each seller could request their preferred language so these may have been used in the French parts of Ottawa as well as on the Quebec side.

I picked up another 7up NDNR 28oz er, this one however is from Dominion glass also dated 1966.
At first glance it looks pretty close but the first obvious difference is the absence of the super fine ribs on the shoulder.
Second is the base, being marked Dominion glass and it lacks a serial # or folio #.
Third is the base size is wider and much straighter...it's approxemently 2 3/4 inches across vs the Consumers at 2 1/2 inches.
And fourth is the 'You like It - it Likes You' print is a tad larger and slightly stretched out which changes the vertical alignment of the letters.
Sorry my inner geek just came out!..lol

though I'd include a picture of the early 60's era 7 up can I found the other day , this picture is from the day I found it , before it was lightly cleaned . is now some more white showing , with several rusty areas .

on back its marked Dominion Seven up co Toronto

I though the tents might push out a bit as they often do with newer cans but metal didn't seem to have much give with out risk of further damaging the can . but still a neat item to actually find in the wild

I like finding the old cans. Amazing they survive outdoors like that.
I have a few various can is similar conditions. Great survivors. Thanks for sharing that.

I'm going to have to check my 10oz NDNR bottles to see is they have that fine ribbed shoulder.... or if I even have one made by Consumers Glass.

Canadacan, do you have a 16 ounce 7up bottle (1973) commemorating the Ohio State Buckeyes? I have one for sale. Just thought I would let you know.
