Gravenhurst Ont bottle dive round 2

[RCO]

went back to a location i checked last summer and had found a number of bottles if you remember my post from last year of what i found there . but it is a dangerous spot to swim not deep but is glass that can be hard to see so have to be careful .

anyways went swimming on the weekend and found some bottles , in picture there always really dirty at this location even though the water is clean but they do clean up .

found a half pint mini milk jug from "Laycox Dairy "gravenhurst , 6 OZ canada dry , budweiser NFL glass , sprite NDNR bottle , old heinz ketchup bottle, , 2 local embossed sodas from JD Browns gravenhurst

haven't found a sprite no return bottle before , it actually cleaned up well considering it was black . not sure how common a bottle it is but still neat

 

[RCO]

common canada dry bottle , has a RD date of 1930 on bottom so an older one , would of had a paper label originally .canada dry is embossed on the neck

found 2 JD Brown bottles in the same area , they could be as old is 1920's but they used this bottle up in to 40's i suspect but either way were in the lake for a longtime . they stopped using JD brown name in 30's and switched to Brown's Beverages thats how i know its an older one

but they have some odd damage to glass , could of been caused by cold winters and fact they were in shallow water could of frooze maybe ? both are exactly the same almost , but bottles are 100% solid so don't think there going to fall apart anytime soon

the find of the day , don't really know alot about milk jugs but have found bottles from this dairy before , one last year in same part of the lake , but it didn't say on the glass it was from Gravenhurst . think this is the half pint size ? never seen a similar bottle from this dairy before but at least all the embossing survived , think it could be from 30's-40's era maybe or 50's ? thats time period this dairy existed but i was never able to find out very much about it . gravenhurst was smaller back then so this is likely a rare bottle.
anyways i wish it wasn't broken but still a cool find

That Sprite bottle is neat...it would make a nice window bottle for sure. NICE FINDS!

its too bad the milk jug is broken , you have to remember Gravenhurst is a small town , only like 12,000 population today and likely 5000 or so when this jug used , so there isn't going to be many out there . but i do have to larger sized Laycox dairy milk jugs allready but this mini jug would of looked really good with them . but this location seems to keep giving up new bottles so maybe there is some other good stuff to find yet , i think i've checked everywhere but there is always something new to find
