santa was good , came across this yesterday when I was downtown and spotted it in a small antiques store . wasn't sure if I wanted it or not as I don't really collect drug store bottles but since it was local and old figured it might be worth it even though its neck on top is somewhat damaged . its fairly old and dates from before ww1 around early 1900's era . the embossing is in good condition states " Dr Bridgland Chemist Bracebridge " .
I haven't seen any for sale privately in recent years , my only encounter with this bottle before was when I dug a shard of one in an old farm dump a few years back . I'm assuming its a fairly rare bottle as this town wasn't that large back then and local history books seem to indicate fires were very common and parts of the downtown burnt down on several occasions .
