I've seen both those before , the Gordon's isn't really one I've seen much of . despite the fact it was one of Peterborough's larger bottlers

haven't really found a lot of peterboro bottles over the years but have a couple things i'll post tomorrow

also a couple bottlers listed that I've never seen bottles for so not sure if they used paper labels ? or why I haven't seen them yet

one of the main bottlers in Peterborough was Boorman's Beverages which also used the name " Peterborough Bottling Works " in the 30's

but I haven't seen many bottles from them , is a red and white acl bottle from 50's > 60's that I have and a plain clear embossed 6 oz bottle from the 30's that I've seen but don't have . but unsure what if any other marked bottles they used

" Boorman's of Peterboro " on front and bottled by Boorman's beverages ltd . Peterborough Ont - contents 10 fluid ounces on back

this is the only other Peterboro bottle that I have , got it a couple years ago it might be posted here somewhere ?

its for " Better Beverage co " a large 11 oz embossed bottle , does not say Peterborough on the bottle from 30's > early 40's era

The owner went by the Name of Max Rishor , is also listings for Rishor in Peterborough but never seen a bottle but could be one

there is also a green 30 oz quart for kawartha drinks / better beverages that I have a picture of and seen before

I have the 11 oz too and think it’s a great bottle design. Is that a fairly unique one or have you seen it used before with other bottlers?

the Better Beverage bottle seems to be a unique design at least for Canada , have no clue if it was used anywhere else though ?

there was also a bottler in peterboro called " David Knox " started around 1900's and lasted into the 20's but changed name several times so not exactly sure what bottles might be out there ?

this picture I found on google on worthpoint so had been for sale recently but I don't recall seeing it on ebay , there had also been a knox bottle on marketplace but pictures weren't that great , think it has a lion embossed on it

there is also a quart bottle I had a picture of and considering the fact they operated so long likely some other bottles

Really like this one. Always liked the embossed bottles with animals on them. I think I have another one or two with lions. May have to post those here too...
