Made in Canada, eh?
I'm not far from Villa Park. What's a Ferry serviced town. I know it's Canadian, AmericanI would agree...but I have never seen a single dot Canadian label let alone on a bottle which actually is made in Canada and matches the date of the label... wondering why and who distributed this one? Pretty hard to fake both...late 1950s...
my first instinct was export but to America? I don't think so. Then I pictured a disposable
bottle on a Canadian ferry bound for the USA. Villa Park, ILL is where its from, or found anyway. Thats a Can-Am ferry serviced town...
Villa Park is a landlocked suburb of Chicago, did Chicago have ferries to Canada in the 50s? I can't think where in Canada that ferry would have gone, doesn't seem like there'd be too much demand for a Chicago-Sault St. Marie route.I would agree...but I have never seen a single dot Canadian label let alone on a bottle which actually is made in Canada and matches the date of the label... wondering why and who distributed this one?

This is a champagne shape not a lady's leg / export bottle. I'm would not bet for or against this champagne being original either. I could only make a call looking at it in hand. Looks good though.Pepsi was famous for putting there labels on Beer Bottles. Coke was always #1 leader selling Coke at 5cents for 6 oz's. Pepsi had a plan & it worked. sell 12 oz's for 5 cents. By doing this it was the first time they ever outsold Coke. Pic of one of my Pepsis below.View attachment 258275
