I've always wanted to find one of these Canadian round-bottoms. Not sure how much they tend to be worth but I know they aren't cheap.
I suspect the Co one you're buying is the older of the two, the embossing suggests it's only intended for Canadian distribution whereas the unusual embossing of "Hamilton, Canada" suggests that they had (probably unfulfilled) aspirations of expanding to an international consumer base. The large font on the first one is also more typical of earlier 1880s-90s Canadian sodas than the second one, which is more reminiscent of early 20th century sodas.
