I noticed this bottle for sale online and it intrigued me as I'm interested in eastern Ontario bottles . I also couldn't recall ever seeing one before .
looked around online and this bottle seems to have been used a fair bit in the US but don't think it was commonly used in Canada . although Howdy was sold here by the 60's as they eventually used an acl bottle and cans that I have found before .
but this bottle seems to be much older , the listing in my book says " Howdy Bottling co " Kingston 1931-1939 . although it appears to be related to another bottler that lasted into the 60's
the bottle is also made in the USA , marked " reg us pat off " and " Pat Des No 78351 " and stamped made in USA on bottom , all things you wouldn't normally see on Canadian bottles
but its also clearly marked " Kingston Ont " on the bottom so it was definitely used in Kingston Ontario at some point
