Note: The Donovans, as many
other bottles, came in a variety of
crest heights. Shown here at the
"high crest" and "low crest"
variants. Also included is a "full
shoulder" Donovan variant. This
bottle definitely has more curvature
in the neck that 95% of the bottles
of this type that we've seen. A
different bottle, or just a potter's
variant?

Note also: It was fascinating to
interview Mr. Felix J. Quinn, the
grandson of "THE" Felix J. Quinn,
and to hear him tell stories of "Billy
Donovan", FJQ's greatest
competitor!

bottles - they are simply the same bottles that have
spent significant time in the Atlantic Ocean.

"Wilson & Sullivan / Celebrated / Ginger Beer / Halifax. N.S."

Description: Cream lightning stopper pint.
Height: 7 1/2"
Potter/Agent: Lumley & Co., London
Category: 2

Note: The crest differences (aside from "Lumley & Co") are
minor, but they are there. Note the clouds, white/dark edge
on the ice pan the bear is standing on, the outline of the
mountaintops, the shading, or lack thereof, in the bear's legs.
These are two different crests.

"Francis Drake / Ginger / Beer / New Glasgow / Nova Scotia"

Description: Lightning stopper tan top pint.
Height: 8"
Potter/Agent: Munderloh, Montreal, W.S. & Co. H
Category: 1

Note: The bottle on right is a double-stamped Drake. Most
likely, the stamper didn't have enough ink on his pad the first
time he stamped the bottle, and decided to rotate the bottle
and stamp it again. A wonderful oddity!
