I am currently working on a deal to bring this highly unusual bottle home, but first let me share a photo of my current line...which is pretty petty ..lol
The first bottle resembles the classic USA one, but these are Canadian and it has a Reg.1949 on the bottom and is dated 1951...so I'm assuming that I wont find much earlier than that for this style of bottle. The rest are dated 1956 and 1959...a nice little time line.

Sorry for the poor photo...this is the gem I'm trying get. I am hopping it predates my 1951. The first thing I noticed was it's green 7oz size, and is says 'Nesbitt Brand Beverages'
I would venture a guess and say this was a ginger ale or lemon lime flavor bottle? At first I thought it was probably a USA bottle but the seller did send me the back photo to reveal the it is from Saskatoon, Sask. Canada! And yes I have seen the two USA Nesbitt's in green glass posted here on the site...., two variations both with standard type ACL's.

Interesting is the stylized N on the neck:confused: where else dose that type appear? And then there is the font style of the N in Nesbitt..... I can't find the use of that style anywhere.
Was this the authorized style for flavors other than orange at the time?.....such a fascinating bottle ehh!

I can't recall seeing any green nesbitt bottles before , all have been clear , the green bottle itself resembles the small 7oz bottles used for ginger ale and such here , a lot of pop was in green bottles that size and colour
