came across this bottle at a flea market a couple weeks back , I bought it as I had never seen the bottle before and its from my area or just a little bit north of where I'm from . have a lot of other bottles from Macdonalds beverages north bay but hadn't seen this one before . there is also a guy from north bay who runs a local history website and I emailed him about the bottle and he hadn't seen it before either and he has pictures of a lot of bottles on his site . so what I know about the bottle , its clear embossed and only 7 oz , is a more common 12 oz bottle that looks similar to this one but not exactly same design . has mark on bottom des reg appl for 1950 and made by consumer glass . so sort of a mystery bottle, I'm thinking its maybe a short lived transition bottle ? they used at some point when they stopped using one of there more common bottles until they switched over to another design ? but wasn't used for very long so not many out there ?or its like a sample bottle they had made at some point but never went into full use ? as to how the guy got it would be harder to explain though but either way a neat bottle to add to collection
