Canadian 1957 Coca-Cola bottle (top is broken)

[Indiana Joe]

I found some old bottles on a hike and was wondering if they are rare or have any value ... what I found was:

1. 1957 Canadian (I'm assuming) Coca-Cola Bottle, Minimum contents 6 Fl Oz. Unfortunately the top is broken (see pics attached)
2. Unknown year Canadian (French and English) Coca-Cola Bottle, Embossed, No Deposit No Return. Marked C5, a square, a zero and triangle shape on bottom.
3. 1960 Pepsi bottle
4. Canadian stubby beer bottle dear to the hearts of Canadian beer drinkers

I can attach more pics if anyone can help identifying the bottles ... Thanks

They look very common to me. But keep hunting. My first bottle was made in 1946 and I found it in the early 70's. I now have them from the 1850s to 1905ish. Good luck on your finds!

Hi Rick ... I checked the website and this is what I found for the 1957 coke bottle which has a "D" inside a diamond:

D within a diamond........Dominion Glass Company, (Now known as Domglas), Pointe Ste Charles (Montreal), Quebec, and other locations at Hamilton, Ontario; Wallaceburg, Ontario; Redcliff, Alberta; Burnaby, British Columbia; Bramalea, Ontario. (1913-to date). The "D within a diamond" mark was reportedly first used by Dominion in 1928 and was used at least into the 1970s or 1980s, perhaps later on a few items. (If anyone knows when this trademark was completely phased out on their glass items, please contact me). The mark used from 1913 to 1928 was evidently just a diamond with no letter inside (at least on their glass electrical insulators), but I don't know if the mark used on their bottles followed the same exact timeline.
For more information on Dominion and the marks and codes they used, this link supplies a more in-depth discussion: Parks Canada document on Dominion Glass Company bottle mould numbers. http://www.sha.org/documents/resear...ss Company and its Predecessors - English.pdf

The 1960 Pepsi bottle:

C in a triangle......Consumers Glass Company, Ville St. Pierre, Montreal, Quebec, Canada (1917-2002). Mark was an inverted triangle (point down) from 1917 to 1961, and a slightly rounded "right-side up" triangle after 1962, according to information per Toulouse. Consumers Glass (division of Consumers Packaging, Inc) was acquired by Owens-Illinois, Inc. (O-I) in 2002 and is now known as O-I Canada. I am assuming (but do not know this to be true) that all bottles produced after O-I acquired Consumers Glass are marked with Owens-Illinois identification (i.e. "I inside an O" or "O-I") and the "C in a triangle with rounded corners" logo has been discontinued.
