Why is it incredibly rare? Also it doesn't seem to be in very good shape.
Hi thanks for getting back. Yes it is in an old untouched state. Its over 50yrs old. Im pretty sure that it is rare as i cannot find out to much information and have not seen another one like it. Im new to all this and hope to learn along the way that is why i have listed it on here to see if anyone might be able to shed some light on its value ect
Someone will correct me I'm sure, but being in an old untouched state the tray should show less ware and tare. I remember Bitter Lime quite clearly, it was used in drinks like Gin & Bitter Lemon - https://www.absolutdrinks.com/en/drinks/with/bitter-lemon/

I've done an Internet search, and tried to find different word combinations that would match Schweppes Bitter Lemon, and I didn't find any.
They don't seem to sell it in Canada any more, and I don't know if they ever did. I'm sure you could find an address for Schweppes somewhere on the WWW - so I suggest writing to them with a picture 0f y0ur sign and make some inquiries.

Hi Gillian thanks for the reply. Thanks for looking in to things much appeciated. It seems like you have had the same problem as me not much info out there. What i meant when i said untouched was not restored. Yes its old and in a some what worn condition but i did not want to try and make it look better as this will just take away from its origianality. I have contacted Schweppes and they just send me a link to the coca cola members club which is no use at all.
Thanks again for your help
