Canada Dry Spur Advertisement

[Coca Cola]

Picked up neat paper advertisement piece with Zippy Spur the Cowboy and sparkle his doggie companion! Anyone have the bottle?

Yep I've got that bottle. Mine is from Pocahontas, VA dated 1943.

But this older 1941 version from the same town may help shed some light on the Zippy Spur character. The Brand's original tagline was "Zip in every sip".

MORB! You make me jealous sometimes, all these beautiful bottles that are local to you. One day my collection will look like yours, at least I hope so![]

Now those are some nice bottles morbious! Look so shiny in the picture. [:-] Are those uncommon?

From this particular town they are actually quite rare. The Zip in every sip bottle being the rarest of the two. As for the brand itself, I don't think they are crawling out of the woodwork but they do show up on ebay.

Don't be too jealous Can there has to be some interesting bottles out your way as well. It seems like at one time almost every bottler had their own flavor line. Spur is of course a Canada Dry product and not a local brand. The thing is that while I do have the Spurs from Pocahontas, VA there is a Canada Dry product from the same bottling company which still eludes me, the Carlton Club. Same design but in green and white acl.

Spur bottles are very common on Ebay, but I'm sure certain towns are not...
