I just picked this one up a couple days ago in that antique mall in Almonte. Anyone familiar with Ontario bottles ever heard of this company before? The bottle is label-only, I have no knowledge of any embossed bottles existing, but there could be some out there. I don't have any books on Ontario soda bottles.
(Not sure why they're sideways).
The only information on the company that I've been able to find is that it was started by David Kennedy Cunningham, who died in 1924, but since the name on this bottle is Mrs. D.K. Cunningham I assume that his wife must have continued the operation after his death.
I haven't been able to find any information on Mrs. Cunningham in relation to the bottling operation, but I've been able to determine that her name was Mary Anne (or Annie) Cunningham, née Warnock, and she died in 1956. Details on what she did after her husband died are pretty much nonexistent. An Annie Warnock was married in Cyrville (a former town outside Ottawa, now the site of an Ottawa industrial park) in 1926, but I can't find any indication that they're the same person.
