P.S. Whether from the U.S. or Canada, Gold Seal bottles from around 1909 to 1911 were probably straight-sided and probably had paper labels. If this is correct, then there should be some paper labels out there "somewhere"

I'm thinking this cap and this description are somehow related ... 1911

This is an experiment to see if these cropped portions of the red bottle cap will enlarge enough to render them more easily readable. 1. Top2. Center3. Bottom

Here's what I'm seeing - with the words "GOLD SEAL" and "GINGER ALE" mingled in/superimposedwith the gold coloring. Its the white lettering across the top I can't make out.

The city/state are usually on the crimped rim of the cap. We need to find another like it to see where they're from. My guess is the red caps are from the U.S.
