had been meaning to post this bottle as I had recently acquired it , had first learned of it a couple years ago when I saw one for sale online locally but sale fell thru and I forgot about it . the same seller relisted the bottle for sale this spring and we finally meet and agreed on a price
don't know a lot about it , believe its listed in the Toronto bottle book as rare . personally haven't seen any others for sale online or anywhere . but Wilson's was a major bottler in Toronto , mostly did ginger ale , personally doubt this bottle was for ginger ale but rather one of there other products like an orange drink or tonic water even ? and likely used for short period in the 30's
embossed on the bottle "Wilson's " Chas Wilson limited , bottle not sold deposit charged to ensure return , contents 6 oz , design regd 1929 and a dominion triangle
4 squirrels are embossed on the bottle , common animal here , is red , black , grey and flying squirrels that live in our immediate area , although Wilson's seemed to be only bottled to use them as part of design
