I don't even have a picture of it , not even sure if I've ever seen one in person either , would seem to be fairly uncommon .

mostly likely one would turn up in the London or south western Ontario region as that's where wishing well was most common

Over the years I have found a number of the Wishing Well bottles. Company was based out of London Ontario as RCO mentioned. An American named Park Manross came from Pennsylvania in the late 1940s after the war to start a truck manufacturing company. Wishing Well Drinks became his legacy. He died in 1951.
I have 5 variations of the embossed bottle, Two versions of the 10oz and 2 of the 11oz. I only have one of the 6.5oz.
I Have some ACL and a couple paper labels too.

@RCO, in addition to the locations you mention. Attached is a June 3 1959 receipt from a local Kitchener Ontario pharmacy that sold the product purchased through Kitchener Beverages, a Pepsi bottler.

my book doesn't mention Kitchener beverages as bottling wishing well for some reason but wishing well would of been sold in all major towns and cities in southern Ontario back then , it was a large enough brand

I've never had any of the acl or paper label wishing well bottles , see them online now and then .

think in total I have 4 wishing well bottles all are clear embossed versions , the 2 , 6 1/2 oz bottles posted and a 10 oz and 11 oz clear bottles

also found a broken wishing well bottle swimming years ago , its 6 1/2 oz and has drink on the side , not sure it was being sold here much or if a tourist brought it here cause I never come across them

That bottle was used well into the sixties. We owned a bowling alley at that time and we were still using many bottles from the 30-40's.We sold Coke and Kist. Wishing Well was a pretty huge brand then We are 11/2 hours from London.
