That and another one. :p Maybe a 3rd depending on how the Ebay auction goes--it's not on Bruce's site I don't think, but I'm pretty sure it's a beer. It's local--I am dying to have it (not quite, Lolz.)
Thanks for putting up the ACLs--but now elaborate on them!!!!!

Awesome...well good luck on the auction![:)]Ok well the Cross's I'll leave for the other thread. so Next is the Lions from Vancouver that competed with Cross's....the Lions was discussed over on the other thread Then we have the 6.5 oz Red Deer beverages, Alberta (dated 1950)...still in operation today and know as Red Deer Bottling Co. Ltd. also one of only a handful of independent Coca-Cola bottlers left in Canada! Then the Superior Beverages from Medicine Hat, Alberta (dated 1943)...I know nothing about this company.The Polar is from Polar Aerated Water Works Ltd. Calgary, Alberta The Arctic, Sunny brook and Kings are from Winnipeg Manitoba....the Nothland's are from Flin Flon, Manitoba. I know nothing too much about these ones yet and have not had a chance to really look at them yet. Then of course we have the Double Cola and I can't really get a year from it but it would be 1950's...head office for them was Montreal.I'll get some close up pics soon of the Superior and Red Deer!

You better! Great gets and thanks. Should be by tomorrow we figure out if I get it. Doesn't compete in condition or appearance with your bottles though--although age it does by far (Say's it's a Baltimore Loop, but I cannot verify.) Can't wait for close-ups.

Thanks guys...yea condition on a couple is so so , I mean I can't complain there's no chips or cracks just that some labels have a bit of fade on them up close and some typical case wear...but they show fine in a group photos [:)]My friend picked them from a fellow that's been collecting since the mid 1950's. I had to step up and pay for these because one they are tough labels, two he's a collector so has a set value on them....I did get a couple free one thrown in so it was ok.

Ok here are some close ups on the Red Deer, Polar, and Superior.....which has a lot of fine detail! oil wells in the distance, a big city sceen below the word Beverages, a bridge with train chugging across, and a little red truck traveling down the road above a little valley farm....hope this show up in the picture.
