a couple weeks back i noticed some really nice bottles on ebay from Ontario , i bid on the ones i liked but was outbid . on the final day i was still winning 1 of the bottles i really wanted , so i bid on one more bottle as i figured i was allready paying shipping charges so why not throw another bottle in the box . turns out with 1 hour left i was outbid by someone for the bottle i wanted . but still won this bottle , its really neat and not one i've seen before . based on the other bottles for sale by this seller they acquired a really nice collection of bottles from the Niagara region of Ontario .

but i've been unable to find out much if anything on the bottle i bought , help would be appreciated if anyone knows anything . its from Welland , Ontario . for a company called Maple Leaf Bottling co .
on the bottom is says " con c. co ltd , reg 1931 "

still have found absolutely no info on this bottle , emailed a bottle collector from welland but awaiting a reply , i did however come across the exact same bottle for sale online , only its for a different company and in a different part of Ontario but looks to be the same bottle design .

its for bonneville bottling co cornwall , Ontario ( cornwall is a small city in eastern ontario not anywhere near welland )

Try consulting "The Ontario Pop Bottlers List (1931-1965)" by Glen C. Phillips.

This was my grandfathers company. My father told me what he knew. It seems it was a front for bootlegging :)
