Dominion bottles.

[ROBBYBOBBY64]

I said I found a load of Dominion glass. They are early machine made bottles. I like the colors of the glass. The middle teal colored one is my favorite. I also like the orange amber ones and the olive green ones. Nice in the window, maybe better looking the trash? What do you think? Lol!

I am liking the teal ones…. Pretty for slicks but that color makes it all ok! I could see them in a window- (but defiantly not in my house! I just had to break up a huge cat fight with a big salmon net I keep in the hall closet for easy access. Servals kick butt!)

Those are interesting, I wonder what they had in them originally. They aren't a particularly common shape for Canadian beer bottles and I don't ever remember seeing a teal Dominion bottle before. I associate the sloping shoulders like that more with paper label soda bottles, but I don't know what sort of Canadian soda would be getting exported to the US. When you said you were finding Dominion bottles I had assumed they would be whiskies, which was what the rum runners were usually smuggling into the US.

You kick ass with a bait net too? Lol!

It could have been sodas maybe mineral water in some. Here is one of the larger quart sized ones I found, also Dominion. I put it next to a 12 oz for a shape comparison. The last picture is two Dominion bottles with the 3 dots. One bottle the dots are below the D in a diamond and the other one the dots are above. I think the big one had mineral or spring water.

there is a lot of bottles with the D mark on them around here , usually green beer bottles but others too , it was a pretty big Canadian glass maker so there is a lot out there made by them

Yeah they look like pretty early ones, likely pre-Prohibition. One possibility that just occurred to me is that these could be early Canada Dry bottles. It came in bottles like these and found early success in New York in the early 20th century. I think it's one of the likeliest explanations, there wasn't all that much soda water produced in Canada in those days which was being exported.

Oh yeah, that is a another possibility. Remember the orange carnival glass bottle they had. Canada Dry was always at every party I attended. Sold loads of it in the N.Y- N.J. area.

Yeah these would predate the carnival glass bottles by quite a bit, I'd put them around 1910-20 probably. That would have been back when they were still bottling it all in Toronto and the owner was still JJ McLaughlin. His embossed soda bottles are quite common in Ontario but it would have made sense for him to use unembossed ones for export.

Thanks CanadianBottles, for the history. Does make sense.
