Gold Seal soda bottle by coca cola

Side note ... Notice the bottle opener at the bottom of the 1913 Ottawa ad. I own one similar to it. The style was patented by William Painter in 1894. Painter also patented the Crown bottle closure in 1892.

If you liked the first Gold Seal Ginger Ale ad I posted earlier, you're going to love this one from ... The Ottawa Journal ~ July 14, 1913 By the way, of the dozen or so ads I found like this, every one of them is from 1913 and only appear in the Ottawa Journal newspaper. Even though the ads indicate the brand was also produced in Toronto and Montreal, I can find no Gold Seal ads from either of those two cities.

And here's the combo ad cropped separately for easier viewing ...

P.S. Every ad or mention of Gold Seal Ginger Ale I can find for Canada range between 1911 and 1913. I can find nothing before or after those years. But why this is the case, I do not know.

Both great advertisements!....thanks for posting them, very interesting to see them.

I knew I had one of these sitting around somewhere! It is a 26OZ Gold Seal bottle. Has London, Ontario on the base, which is why I picked it up when I did. As the Gold Seal bottles always do, it has some little chips and cracks.

Ah nice!...I'm not certain that all Gold Seal bottles have the city on them, my 6oz does not.Can you post pictures of the base and the printing on the back?...and is the cap like the ones posted here already?

Sure. I have attached a base photo. I will post a photo of the embossing on the rear a bit later when I take one. I agree on the city thing. I cant say I have ever seen any of the little guys have cities on them, maybe just something the 26OZ bottles had? The cap is not an original, just a gold coloured bottle cap someone stuck on it.
