Well , I dont know how this works . If we re allowed to sell on this site but I would be willing to sell it to a collector who would truly want it . Would only need to PM me to work out details. Too bad the writing on the back came off while cleaning cause it explained the history . !868 and all.Hi. Great bottle! Gurd's is an old company, starting back in 1868. Kik started in the 1920s. Both were based in Montreal. Both were acquired by Orange Crush in the 1940s (Gurd's 1943, Kik 1945) but continued to operate somewhat independently. They continued making Gurds through the 1960s and Kik was made until the early 1980s. I haven't seen anything to indicate there was any connection between the companies prior to the acquisition. I have attached an 1930 ad for Gurds which shows a paper labelled bottle - not the same as yours but some similarities. As far as I can tell, they went to ACL in the 40's/50's for their standard bottles.
As for your bottle, I think the Kik bottle just got returned to Gurds and it got cleaned and put on the bottling line.
I don't see the quart ACL Gurd's bottles like that very often, doubt it's worth anywhere near $100 though, especially with the label in poor condition. I suspect it's somewhere in the $1-10 range in that condition.This one I m trying hard to get more info on. It is contoured with 13 flat sides , embossed with a 3 IV at the top of a flat front side. Bottom embossed with O D C and a empty diamond .Any thoughts? Btw, all my bottles are dug in Gatineau, Quebec. Sorry about the picture quality.
