Ginger Ale Bottles wanted

[Ginger Ale collector]

Hello Irish,

I do not know that one. I have a few of the common clear crowntops from Grafton (Henson, and Zietz Bros.) also a wonderful dark green BIMAL J.S. Rowley from Hamilton. Will try to post a picture of the Rowley's. Will be going to a bottle show this weekend and will try to look for the Dows bottle with the patent closure you liked.

Hi Irish- here's the Rowley from Hamilton. Nice green- a little darker than in this pic. No luck on the Dow's Patent yet-

Hi John- here's a couple of Canada Dry ACLs. That's a 6.5 oz on the left, and a 4 oz. on the right. The difference is one is from the US and the other from Germany! If you look at the small one- it says "Limonade" which I think is how they refer to "soda" . Now the other interesting thing is the cap on the left one. It is a snap-down cap that was designed to reseal the bottle after you open it. It says Canada Dry Beverages on the top.

Hi John, here's the White Eagle I mentioned a while back when you asked about the one you have- this one is from Baltimore- not very common.

Nice little Rowleys Hamilton there, that is a very rare bottle. There is an amber one too but I'm not sure if it's got ginger ale on the back.

GAC, nice acls. my white eagle is no where near as fancy as that one. i like the canada drys.canada dry has a special memory for me because of my father. when my father was a teen ager he worked for the local canada dry plant. that is for one day, until he knocked over an entire stack of full bottles. i get a kick out of it every time i think about it.

Hi John,

Was on vacation and busy with other things. Funny story about your Dad. Was up in Maine and got a chance to stop in and see Sam's great collection of Maine soda bottles. Some beauties. Here's a rare ginger ale bottle that Pepsi folks get pretty excited about. Mine's got a crack and I got it for $10! This bottle also came with the Coca Cola script logo. Wish I had that one, even with a crack!

Hello all- been busy lately these days- but not too busy to have picked up a few ginger ales. The Snap is frm Cinncinati, the Maple Leaf from Mount Clemens, MI, and the Country Club from Springfield, MA.

Clicquot Club was one of the largest bottling companies, if not the largest in the US for a number of year. They shipped ginger ale all over the world from the little town of Millis, MA. Here's a selection of bottles that run in age from late 1890s to early 1960s.
