Gold Seal soda bottle by coca cola

[Canadacan]

Great thanks Bixel!, learning allot on this thread..in fact about the most I ever have on Gold Seal!I've never seen a city on the base...but only because lack of bottle samples or the chance to see photographs.I would think you are correct about the cities just being on the 26oz but you never know what may come up in the future.This shall be a great thread to document any new findings and bottle variations, say I don't see a maker mark ie: Dominion or Consumer glass...or a date code?

Ivan, from the age, and colour, I would say it is Dominion. I cant find a mark, even looked with a flashlight to try and find a super light embossing, but no such luck.

Have attached photos of the front bottom embossing, as well as the rear bottom embossing. The other embossing is the same as the small ones with "Gold Seal" on the shoulder front/back, and the front has the Gold Seal logo as well. Front at bottom "Contents 26 flu ozs, Registered"Back at bottom" Property, of the coca-cola co"

It took me a while to dig it out but I knew I had a pretty early Canadian Gold Seal bottle. It's aqua in color, measures 8 3/4 inches high and probably contained 10oz. It's embossed 'ROOT' near the base and 'Gold Seal' on its base. I think it's the earliest bottle known for this brand. It's marked on the front 'Gold Seal Ginger Ale / Trade Mark Registered / Property of the Coca-Cola Company Canada'. I pictured it next to a common 6oz Coke bottle for comparison.

Great find! The Root Glass Company was in operation between 1901 and 1929-30

that's a really neat gold seal bottle thanks for posting it , I don't recall ever seeing it before and been to a lot of antique malls and stores . its definity early likely used before the 1920's in that period around say WW1 era .

Great bottle!...never seen it before. Many of the Canadian soda's from the late teen's into the 20's were made in the USA.I don't recall seeing one from the Root glass company, is there a date code on the heel?

 

[nostalgia]

The only other thing embossed on the heel other than 'ROOT' are the numbers '13' and '1656' if it means anything...

 

[Canadacan]

Root Glass Co. had date codes on the heels of their soda bottles beginning in 1909. And usually the ROOT logo and a model code so the '1656' is probably the model and the '13' I suspect is the year 1913.

Also note the style of script on your embossed matches the Canadian advertisement from 1913[attachment=Gold seal 1913 - Copy.JPG]
