was going to share a bottle I was researching , was flipping thru a local history book at the library and it had a section on bottlers in Simcoe county area . and some pictures of various bottles , most I had seen before or have . but I hadn't seen the Alliston hutch before , in fact I don't recall ever seeing one anywhere . the only Alliston Ontario bottle I've ever had was a milk jug but I traded it for another bottle a couple years ago
which was why I took a picture of it so I could look more into it , I'm assuming its fairly rare
there is a listing in one of my bottle books for a couple Alliston bottlers , John A Aitken is listed as operating from 1884 - 1890
Alliston Ontario is a small city surrounded by farmland , 18,000 or more people now but might of only been home to 1400 or so back then ( not including rural areas nearby )
