Halifax Ginger Beer Bottles

[dirk]

I'm selling 9 antique Halifax ginger beer bottles. Other ad's on Kijiji list these in the $50-$90 range each. Any one interested in any of these? If anyone has any information regarding these bottles that would be great too! IE: when they were made (approx.) and how collectible they are.

I have a few of these. My father dug them up during the excavation for one of the downtown office towers in the 1970s. I wanted to go with him but I was too young. My mother took them to work and gave them an acid bath so they cleaned up nicely. I notice them on Kijiji from time to time for as much as $100 but have no interest in selling mine.

Have you tried bottling beer in them? Maybe one of the original Keith's recipes...

I haven't tried putting beer in them. I need to sell them or buy them myself because my family inherited them. I may also try ebay to gain a larger audience. Thanks for the input.

I found an interesting link discussing these types of bottles and specifically two "Halifax digs in 1976 and 1977" that uncovered some of them.
