Thanks everyone! Canadacan, that's a good thought, I suppose it could be Mexican. There's no other writing or anything besides the Orange Crush on both sides, so I guess the only way to tell would be to identify the makers mark on the base.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone have any idea what the large amber ones usually sell for? I don't think I've ever actually seen one for sale. Thanks!

Yes I checked the makers mark catalog and did not see anything, a few similar but from the wrong era. I would guess that 26oz Canadian amber would go for $200-500. Several years ago I had a chance at one but just wasn't flush enough, the price was 175.

Oh I do have the clear Canadian one though :)

Question: I have 2 Mae West style OCs, same bottler, but one is smooth and the other is "wrinkley/dimpled" Is there a significance?

Wow, that's insane! I never would've expected them to go for that much. Thank you and Canadacan both for the info!

Have seen a lot of O.C. bottles over the years, but never with the print that appears on the brown bottle... perhaps it is Mexican, but still have not seen it amongst my Mexican bottles in the past. The embossing on the base does not appear similar to the 'standard' Dominion Glass. Very unusual... please give us any followup.

Michael, I haven't found anything out about it yet, but if I do I'll be sure post it.

I recently picked up two really nice Orange Crush bottles in a lot with some others. The first is a beautiful emerald green 28 oz. The base is embossed with Claremont / N. H. / Soda / Works, Inc. I believe these large green Orange Crushes are pretty scarce. A really nice-looking bottle!

The next one is this 26 oz amber ACL Mae West style bottle. I believe this one is actually pretty rare. I think they were only made in Canada. I'm not very familiar with Canadian glass companies, but does the diamond on the base mean it's from the Dominion Glass Company? I'm a pretty big fan of this one too! Thanks for looking!

Can either of these be purchased? Thanks.
