Straight side Coca Cola from Canada- Root bottle

[Jess98]

I was wondering if anyone has some info on the scarcity and value of this Canadian straight side coke, I have a small collection of straights sides from Canada and this is the first Root variant I’ve come across and can’t find any info on it. Across the bottom it says “PROPERTY OF THE COCA-COLA CO. OF CANADA” and underneath that says “1658 ROOT 13”
Thanks!

That's interesting! I don't know anything about the value but I had no idea Root made bottles for Canada. It's very uncommon to see any sort of pop bottle in Canada that was made by an American glassmaker.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking too, I found this page so it’s known to exist, but not much info on it other than that unfortunately!

in all my years of Coke collecting I've only had one.....it was the nicest colour of Georgian green....

because it was American made I guess....

sadly they are only worth about $50 bucks. if you gave it a good tumble maybe $100
