some interesting east coast ACL's i saw on ebay

for all my searching didn't come across any art deco or older embossed bottles from atlantic Canada from say 20's - 40's period

Those are some nice ones! I've got one of those Gold Label bottles but in quart size. It's a label that would look a lot nicer with that white foam stuff they put into expensive ACL milk bottles behind it. Not sure where you get that stuff though. I've always wanted a bottle from Newfoundland, especially one from before it joined Canada. I think that's the last province that I don't have anything from. Actually I might not have anything from New Brunswick either, I can't remember at the moment.

There's the Evangeline art deco bottle from Nova Scotia, one of Canada's nicest art deco bottles. I think those may have had a pretty wide distribution at one point. I can't find any others by Googling though. Which is quite strange. I did notice that Halifax bottles are shockingly cheap on Kijiji out there though, I wonder if they don't have many collectors. Someone is currently selling a pair of labeled 1910's sodas for $25 and the ad has been up for a whole month! I would jump on that in a heartbeat if it was something local to me.

I'm not sure about prices , some of these acl's went for a lot of money or people asking a lot if they were still for sale .
although the 5 newfoundland aqua soda water bottles sold for less than $20 plus shipping if you check the add , which I though seemed really low as I hadn't seen them before and they all seemed to be in good condition and old

I did come across a 30 oz Evangeline acl bottle from Halifax but didn't post it as it wasn't that interesting a label

don't have any bottles from Newfoundland either or Nova Scotia , have a tennant from Moncton NB but its fairly plain white label and some newer Seaman's bottles from PEI , don't really see a lot of old east coast bottles in antique stores , although sometimes see the odd Halifax one but I never know if its worth the price or not

I mainly focus on western Canada, the only others I have would Acadia by Evangeline...and a Tall from Saint John's NB....but again both saw a much wider distribution than just the east coast.
Acadia I don't think went into Manitoba.

 

[CanadianBottles]

Hey Canadacan, isn't that Acadia bottle very similar to the Van Bros The Lions bottle? Do you know if they're modified versions of the same design?
And I really like that Tall bottle, a lot more than the Tall from BC.

 

[RCO]

have seen the acadia before , not sure why I don't have one yet , I'd say there is definitely some around at antique malls or online .

haven't seen the Tall from Saint john's before but is a lot of similar acl bottles in that same size and style

 

[Canadacan]

Yes the Acadia and Lions are similar...I'll do a photo. Seems strange Saint John Beverages had been bottling Tall, most of the Tall's I've seen are from Red Deer and Medicine Hat, I have not seen one from BC yet..... that same orange and black label was in Red Deer as well.

 

[Canadacan]

The crackle pattern is different...in fact on the Lions I have a variant with large 'REGISTERED TRADE MARK' that has yet another crackle pattern.
Both bottles are made by Consumers glass.

 

[CanadianBottles]

Oh yeah they don't look quite so similar there. Funny the resemblance, I was wondering if they'd copied the mold but side by side it looks obvious that they didn't.
