Ginger Ale Bottles wanted

[Ginger Ale collector]

Hi Pontil Meister,

Yep, I am familiar with that bottle. Here is the bottle with the label. My example has an applied top (BIMAL- blown in mold applied lip). I believe that it was the last bottle Clicquot Club made before going to the machine made. The embossing on some of these is clearer than others. Yours may look like it reads N08, but it really is 1908. Some of the 1908 embossed ones were machine-made, I think. Thanks for asking about it.

That is a ACL ginger ale you may be interested in.

Hey Madman the base of your Wolverine ginger ale looks like it says it was made at the Ovens Illinois plant in Streator, Illinois in 1930.

Hi Tony- yes it might just be time to start posting some more ginger ales- however, I've been so busy- haven't had much time for this fun stuff! In the meantime, here's one shelf of the ginger ale collection to wet your appetite! Thanks for making contact. . .

I can not see the picture real well, but it looks as though you have a round bottom in some kind of a holder or stand. Could you post of good picture of it ?

Hi LC,

Not sure which Round Bottom in the stand you were looking at- there are three in the picture! So here they are:

1) Comstock & Gove, Sparkling Ginger Ale, 30 Canal St. Boston, MA. This is from a pretty old firm in Boston that date back 20-30 years before this 1870s bottle. Not a common bottle.
2) U.S. Ginger Ale, Ohio Bottling Works, Cleveland, OH- This is the tallest round bottom I've seen, over 10 inches. I don't know too much about this bottle except that it is the only one I've known of.
3) This one is from Ontario, Canada- H.W. Bilton- it has an anchor and 1868 on the reverse- it is an early "Hamilton" style torpedo shape- and not many of these are around, the Canadian collectors tell me.
