1930s-40s Nu Jersey-Creme Co. Toronto Seltzer Bottle | Toronto Elephant Trade Mark

When people ask what real vintage barware looks like, this is it. This heavy glass siphon bottle carries the acid-etched elephant trade mark of the Nu Jersey-Creme Co., a Toronto soft drink outfit whose branding has outlived the company itself by nearly a century. Features: Heavy, 12-sided clear glass siphon bottle body Working with original interior glass straw. Acid-etched "Nu Jersey-Creme Co, Toronto" elephant trade mark logo Made by the British Syphon Company Limited, London Original cream and blue plastic spout, stamped with the maker's mark 38 oz capacity Genuine early-to-mid 20th century Toronto advertising piece Background: Nu Jersey-Creme started life south of the border in Texas before expanding north, running offices in both Chicago and Toronto by 1910. The Canadian arm kept going for decades after, using the "Nu" spelling (instead of "New") specifically to head off any suggestion the drink contained dairy. The bottles themselves were made under contract by the British Syphon Company of London — a maker whose siphon hardware turned up behind bars across the Commonwealth. This piece is one of the few surviving traces of a homegrown Toronto soft drink brand that's otherwise faded from memory. Style Notes: A piece like this earns its keep on a home bar cart or open shelving in a Toronto or Ontario kitchen doing the vintage-eclectic thing — it reads as much like local history as it does barware.
