Ginger Ale Bottles wanted

[IRISH]

beantown, you are more than welcome to post stuff for sale in the for swap/sell/wanted section of this site, welcome to the forum too [] .

GAC, That crown seal pepsi skittle is a great looking bottle. I recently found out that the Daniels Drouin also comes in a Codd bottle with Ginger ale on it, I've got a Daniels codd but not with Ginger ale on it.
The list of Ginger ale bottles still seems to be growing [] .

Hello Irish,

Yes the list of ginger ales does grow. Believe me, I know all too well. Haven't come across a Dow's patent for you yet, but one will turn up. Here are some more skittles as you call them. Here in the US they are called duckpins, or tenpins. Duckpins is probably a more accurate name. Duckpins are a smaller version of regular bowling (tenpins) that started up in the US about 1900. The bowling ball is smaller also, about 6 inches, and you get three balls per turn, rather two. Anyway, from left to right (all ginger ales of course) Indian Rock (no location), Brockport Club, from Brockport, NY, Turk's Head from Providence, RI, sun-colored Indian Rock from Richmond, VA, and the last two are Indian Rock from Norfolk, VA, and Annapolis, MD. The last two are the same bottle mold as the Pepsi one in an earlier post.

(and no; I don't know the seller personally; so this ain't an add).

Hi Mike,

Nice ginger ale! That is one I haven't seen before. Many companies started out making ginger ale as their top of the line product because in the early days of sodamaking, ginger ale was what people wanted. If you didn't have ginger ale, customers went elsewhere. That's why you'll see bottles embossed Something Something Ginger Ale Company because they wanted "Ginger Ale" to be in their name. Eventually they stopped putting ginger ale on the bottle and used the crown cap to tell you what flavor it was, including ginger ale. But they kept the original name of the company, so your bottle, from the Highland Park Ginger Ale Company could have held everything from birch beer to root beer. Canada Dry started out as The Canada Dry Ginger Ale Company!

Hello Warith,

Thanks for the alert on the Blue Bow. It's a very pretty bottle-I do have that one. I'm glad I do as I would have missed the auction. My computer decided to behave poorly and needed a visit to repair depot- but all is well now! Thanks again!
