[attachment=Delaware Punch 004.JPG]I came across this awesome Delaware punch bottle at a local flea market yesterday. My first thought was it must be a USA bottle...we see lots of them here as we are so close to the border. But upon closer in spection I noted it was embossed on the bottom Vancouver BC !!!.. very intersting, never seen one before which is odd as that brand was huge back in the 20's in the USA, My understanding is they went into a major expansion in 1923 which included several foreign countries ..Canada being one of them. The bottle is not Canadian made and has a glass plant marking from IPG in a triangle. I supose that was the only way to get a franchise for the product was they supplied the bottled to ensure some form of standard. The cap and contents are not original to the bottle.Is this a tougher variation?...I wonder what other Canadian variations exsist?[attachment=Delaware Punch 006.JPG]
