Hello from Northern Ontario

[deenodean]

Some really great stuff has come out of Northern Ontario dumps, which are particularly easy to find because they are seldom buried very deeply, on account that nobody would have taken the time to excavate the granitic Canadian Shield to make room for a dump. Consequently, they are on or very close to the surface, with very thin overgrowth on top. They are also easy to dig because they are shallow, and once you hit the Canadian Shield a foot or two down, you know you've reached bottom. I have several nice handmade specimens in my collection from Northern Ontario dumps. The best is the 8-ounce Hartz to the left of this pic:

It was found in a dump not far from Blind River, Ontario, which goes along nicely with its cousin to the right, which came out of the basement of a pharmacy in the same town. Great looking blue bottles.

Welcome!What's on this? It's very similar to KFB Co. LTD

Cool bottles. I like that Doran's painted label, do you have a picture of the back?

Here is the back of the Doran's Bottle.

I live about 30 minutes from Blind River. I would love to find one of those WoW! We don't have to dig to deep like you said. At the end of last season i found a hole that seems to be lined with wood and is about 7 feet deep. Im gonna investigate it more once i can get to it. We are finding allot of broken glass with tops like the ones in your photo's. There was a huge forest fire in i think 1943 that destroyed the logging industry in the region. We are seeing proof of it with lots of melted glass in the ground.

It does look very similar. Mine says Soo Falls.

I thought this was pretty neat considering where it's from. I know they are common but i still kept it.

Also found one of these in the same place as that Montgomery Alabama Coke bottle.

I liked how these looked as i never seen them before. Found them in a different place in the woods that had cement poured slabs about 20 feet from the dump site.

Here are some jars we found. The last on is a Jewel Jar so my wife put her polished stones in it.[]

Welcome, looks like you are finding a lot of nice sodas. Most of the sodas were manufactured by Soo Falls.
