Western Canadian Soft Drink Association -bottles 1972-1985

[bottleguy500]

I picked this bottle up at a show in Indiana a few years ago. Not one of the WCSDC bottles, but for the F.B.I. National Academy Associates Convention, Wpg. Man. Aug. 2-5, 1987. Bottle was made by the same glass company and is a frosted gray in color. One side of the bottle has the logo for the FBI National academy and the other has BBI, Blackwoods Beverages LTD. Has logos from Pepsi, 7up, Crush and Schweppes under the logo. Bottle also has graphics similar to those on the WCSDC bottles.

Yes I still need this bottle even though it's not part of the series, it's graphic layout is similar to that of the frosted 1978 Winnipeg bottle.
Thanks for sharing!

Well Friday I picked up the last two bottles in the series and now have a complete set. It was bitter sweet as it has brought to an end a quest that started back in 1995 when I found my first.....the Regina 1979 bottle. I have been on and off with collecting but always dabbled in something and kept most of my bottles over this time, and in reality it has only been just under the last 3 years that I have finally put them all together. It involved endless hours of searching and late nights looking through ebay, craigslist, Kijiji, etc....so while not impossible to do but you have to put a lot of effort and time into it.
Hopefully one day a new or young collector stumbles across this and finds the information useful.
