Bought this one as a soda bottle. 6 1/2 oz. Reg. US Pat. Off. Can anyone confirm it’s a soda, or do you know it to be something else? Thank you!

I assume it's a soda, looks like it's designed to hold something carbonated so I don't know what else it would be. Does it not have any name on it?

That crown top is an indicator it was for carbonated beverages. That was a common size for soda also. I would bet 20 to 1 for soda, but I did make a mistake once.

What gives it away to me is the thickness of the base. Crown tops can be found on a lot of different things and the size isn't a perfect indicator, but there was little point in using thick glass like that unless it was for a contents which was under pressure.

Nice analysis. Thank you!

And speaking of Canadian bottles, I LOVE Canadian sodas. Here are some of mine. Have you got any others (similar)? Need the one by itself in pic. Thanks.

Yes, but it’s hard to read. Looks like ‘Hi Yum’, up on neck. Written in that Chinese font.

Do you realize how rare those green bottles are!? I have a green Keck's ACL but I've never seen embossed ones!
And they are MINT! I paid for them though. I used to find all sorts of nice ones on eBay, but that’s getter harder to do all the time. Having said that, there was a ’small’ one on there the other day. It sold for around $40, but wasn’t the best. If you like embossed, check these out.
