Shorty Beverages - Toronto ON

[Donas12]

That embossed Shorty is a bottle that I think may be unique ,nice find! I was able to find a 30 oz. bottle recently and I was told that the figure skater on the label was meant to celebrate world champion Barbara Anne Scott! I think this company operated as Rock and Rye and Shorty starting in 1943 and continued until 1956.View attachment 223986View attachment 223987

Nice score on the quart! Looks great.
Totally makes sense that Barbara Ann Scott was so popular after winning the championship in 1948, that a bottler would want to promote off that. Thanks for the info.
Since I posted, I found two more of the same embossed Shorty’s. As collecting sometimes goes, you luck into one and then suddenly multiples appear...

That is indeed Barbara Ann Scott, in fact it's almost the exact same image of her that Clark Dairy in Ottawa used on their bottle that celebrated her success.

Thanks for the Clark Dairy bottle photos, I obtained the Shorty bottle from a dairy collector who had acquired the soda bottle when purchasing some dairy bottles, so someone probably displayed both bottles together, thanks for putting the pieces together!
