Orange Canada co - art deco soda bottle 1931

[SODAPOPBOB]

Just skirting the edges but not finding the right one ... Montréal Orange Bottling Company Ltd. The company was in operation from 1935 to 1945 and produced the Flirt, Luxury Cocktail, Opera Cocktail and Aromatic Cocktail brands.

This link is to a Opera Cocktail bottle and is connected to the Montreal Orange Bottling Company Ltd. cap I just posted, but I'm not sure if its related to the brand in question. According to the seller and mark on the base, this particular bottle is dated 1936 ... http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-OPERA-SODA-BOTTLE-DE-LUXE-COCKTAIL-AROMATIC-1936-MONT-ORANGE-/131442570134?nma=true&si=AwbLD33sRm2J6102AxJjJeTDN4c%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Note: I cannot find anything under the name "Orange Canada Company" and suspect it might be related to one of these other companies. ???

RCO the bottle looks cool filled!...do you have a caper and crowns?..would look great to leave it filled for display.That is a pretty cool bottle as well Bob.Hey just while were on the subject of mystery Orange sodas, just want to post a pic of this in case Bob happens to see something in his travels on the net, and don't mean to try to take away or divert attention from your bottle RCO.It's a Orange Dandy Co. Ltd., patented Feb 23, 1924. This was a pretty interesting time as so many companies tried to stake their claim in the Orange soda market after seeing the successes that Orange Crush had.

Ok disregard my query about the Dandy!..lol!...Found RCO's post from last year and the Tim Maitland page had a later ACL.Did not realize it was a common Toronto bottle....weird thing was a month back I did an internet search that returned no results?...but tonight I thought I'd try again hit them all, oh well just happy to know where it's from.

that orange dandy is really common , I didn't know that at first either until I started seeing them at antique stores all over the place , oddly enough I have never found one swimming or digging here yet but you see them for sale all the time .there is also an earlier bottle with a 1923 date from same company in Toronto , it doesn't seem to be as common , haven't seen many of the earlier ones around

I just found this and haven't followed up on it yet ... Montreal Orange Co.Address: 5363 Chamborg St.City: MontrealState/Province: QuebecCountry: Canada(1931-1933) Cap pictured below is from the eBay link

I'm still not sure about the possible montreal link or not ? it does seem like a possible location but it could just as easily be from Toronto . as there were a lot of bottlers there and have found other bottles from that time period that operated for very short time periods in that city . however its not listed in Ontario book so its tough to prove its from Ontario or if it was sold here .

markings of bottle - Orange Canada co , along bottom side -design reg'd 1931 , contents 6 1/2 oz , on bottom a large CO and a triangle consumers glass logo

If the company name was the Orange Canada Company, I can't help but wonder why they would emboss a large CO on the base? You'd think they would have put a large OC or OCC instead. I have my doubts the large CO simply stands for "Company."

PS Without going too far outside the box, and using only presently known associated words, it would make more sense if the large CO on the base stood for something like ... Canada Orange

yeah I kind of assumed that's what the CO meant when I saw that , so its possible name of company was Canada Orange not Orange Canada co . but more than likely had orange and Canada in name . its possible this product was a product of a larger bottler at some point or bottler that went by another name . it would seem odd an entirely new bottler started in 1930's just for this one product than disappeared ?

Great embossed, clear bottle... not in my chapter on these. Is Canadian I believe... looks similar to Orange Dandy.
