saw this bottle on an old ebay listing , it sold in September but I was left intrigued by it .
checked my various books and couldn't find any listings for a "King Soda Water Mfg Co " in Toronto Ontario
although by the looks of the bottle it was used somewhere between 1905-1915 era , at least that be my guess
the Menorah on the bottle would also lead to some questions as to if bottler was jewish , although they didn't use a jewish name on bottle but it be hard to explain why they put the menorah on it if they weren't jewish . there was a large jewish population in Toronto at that time so it make sense and some were involved in the bottling industry
just wondering if anyone else has seen the bottle before or knows anything else about it ?
