I recently acquired this Silver Foam bottle, of Sudbury Ontario, which I haven’t seen before. It’s 10oz with a nice balance of acl and embossing. Has an embossed D on the neck which is the same design of bottle that another bottler, Doran’s uses.
Thought I’d share.. F1253127-9D31-4A62-84F4-AEF42AA45833.jpeg415271AA-A1FB-4018-B3DF-7695EEC4A1EF.jpeg

have seen that one before but don't have it

do have 2 green 7 oz bottles , this one I found at a yard sale a few years ago , not that far from where I live not sure how it got down here . the other one is in box in garage and way too cold to find it but it looks similar .
also seen bottles in 30 oz and 12 oz maybe with the same red and white acl

also have an embossed bottle from the Sudbury Brewing and Malting co which seems to be related to silver foam . the same design of bottle was also used in Sault Ste Marie ( embossed soo Falls ) and Timmins ( embossed Dorans )

I came across a picture of the Doran's version of the embossed bottle I posted online , it was also used in northern Ontario , silver foam , Dorans and Soo Falls all seem to be related somehow

same bottle just embossed " Dorans" , actually found one of them here once but it was broken not sure how it traveled that far south but was in a local dump

That's strange about the D on the neck of the Silver Foam bottle. I wonder if they were offered a deal on a mold previously commissioned by another bottler.

That makes sense. Probably a cost savings decision. Margins were likely quite tight.,.
