Macdonalds beverages - North Bay , Ont

[RCO]

there are still a few different macdonalds bottles I don't have or never found in the wild . I try to save a picture of them if I see anything different or odd sizes online for sale . most seem to be in the 12 oz bottle , it seems to be harder to find

is a blue and yellow variation , also a green one

also some quart bottles , one is similar design to the steinie bottle but 30 oz

and a better picture of the 6 oz green bottle

i also noticed this bottle on marketplace , a plain green bottle with a temagami dry paper label but not that old as for 750 ml

pretty sure your blue and yellow 11 oz is the same or very similar to mine , the one I have was found outdoors so missing some colour

forgot there was an amber version you don't see it very often , I've never found one in the wild . must of been for root beer or ginger beer ?

Noticed this book written about the bottle history of the NW area...

don't think that book covers North Bay ,

pretty sure North Western Ontario is the thunder bay /Kenora region which would cover that area near the mantioba border

there are some local history books that cover north bay area but not sure there'd be much about the bottlers specifically in them

noticed this macdonalds bottle on a buy and sell site , same red and white colour as others

hard to see from pic but says 300 ml on it so more recent than others , not sure how late they lasted ? but maybe into the 70's

but I don't recall seeing this version before although it looks very similar to the others

Interesting design on the neck ACL on that one, it looks like the emblem for that rejected design for the Canadian flag from the 60s

never really paid any attention to the maple leaf design but checked the other red / white macdonalds bottles and this is the only one with it

so it does seem kind of odd , as it has mls on it not oz , assume this bottle was used post 1967 ? but hard to say exactly when this variation used

I love the MacDonald Beverage bottles. I never came across a quart bottle yet.
Here are mine. The one with the maple leaves is a 10oz.
