Found this gorgeous ginger ale bottle. Am really looking to get rid of it...trying really hard to down size this place. So if anyone is interested let me know. Bottom says...CANADA DRY GINGER ALE 21 INCORPORATED. Maybe year 1921??

Those are Canada Dry "Sparkling Orange Ade" in carnival glass bottles. I am pretty sure they date from 1931-33 era. Mine says "3" on the bottom, so those numbers are most likely a factory code or mold number. These are VERY nice looking bottles but also very rare to find with the original labels still attached. I think the idea was (in the deepening Depression) a way to stand out for better sales. I once saw a labeled one in person and can vouch for that. Here is mine and also a (bad) pic of one with label:

Very nice. That label does look nice on there. It needs to find a new home
