found 2 older bottles when swimming this weekend

[RCO]

didn't find a lot of bottles at these 2 locations worth keeping or taking pictures of but found 2 really old bottles this weekend when swimming .

first is for "Henry Wampole CO LTD " Perth Ontario Canada , its a canadian version of the American bottle

found in in some sand in a bay near the site of an old hotel on Lake Rosseau , it was well hidden but you could tell it was a bottle so I pulled it out and was surprised it was so old , online I saw Canadian plant in Perth Ontario opened in 1905 so this bottle must be from around that time period or a few years later

it cleaned up really well , is a light aqua colour , haven't found any bottles from this company before so don't know that much about it , was actually in Perth earlier this year , small town near Ottawa but I guess it was a busier place back in those days if it had major companies bottling things there

second bottle was found in Gravenhurst Ontario at my usually location there , didn't find much else worth taking a picture of but this bottle is a real find .

is a "JD Brown " gravenhurst Ontario 6 OZ soda or spring water bottle , similar to the one I got on ebay if you saw that post but this bottle is the smaller version as the other one was like 12 oz . I've seen a few before so not super rare but hard to find , likely from early 1900's-1910's era . is the oldest brown's beverage or local soda bottle I have ever found swimming

it cleaned up really well , actually wasn't even that dirty when I found it as it was hidden in some sand and well protected . i'd say condition is near mint 9.5/10 at least , definity one of the nicest local bottles I have ever pulled out of a lake around here
