About this Book

My hope with this book was to help fill a void in the demand for information on Cape Breton and Nova Scotia embossed soda and ginger beer bottles. At the time of this publication demand for these bottles has been at the highest I can ever recall. This book is the result of almost 20 years of continuous research. When I assisted Barry Wright with his ginger beer book in 2002 large portions of the information I had gathered were omitted to save space. It had always been my wish to share the information I have been saving all this time. There has been nothing published concerning glass soda bottles since 1992 and there have been many new finds since then. Publishing this piece has allowed me to combine three of my major interests, bottle collecting, history and genealogy all into one. I hope you enjoy reading this material as much I did putting it together. In the future I hope to produce a detailed work such as this one concerning Nova Scotia ginger beer and soda bottles.
