London Ontario Canada bottle?

[hemihampton]

Does anybody know anything about this bottle. From London Ontario Canada. Anybody know year? Rarity? Value? THANKS, LEON.

Late 1880s to early 1890s. A little harder to find in aqua than in amber, but amber draws more attention for obvious reasons. I'd say in the $10 to $20 range.

Thanks mctaggart. No other Canadian guys or Canadian collectors in here with a opinion? LEON.

I've never seen that particular Nonsuch Stove Dressing bottle before. It looks older than any of the ones that I've seen, but I think Mctaggart's probably right on the value. I don't think stove polish bottles from that era ever go above that range unless they have an interesting colour or label.

Hi : I live in London , Ont. and that is a fairly common bottle. Been digging them up for over 40 years.
I personally wouldn't pay $5.00 for one.

I figured probably common, I don't find much rare stuff unfortunately. LEON.

They started in London Ont. in 1886 and by 1900 were in Toronto. In 1902 they registered as The Nonsuch Manufacturing Company Limited. I can't find them located in both simultaneously.

I was thinking that I didn't remember them being in London. I've got two of their bottles, but both the Toronto Nonsuch Manufacturing Company versions.

Thanks for info cowseat, maybe it's tougher from London ? THANKS, LEON.

If I'm reading this right that was the year and there could be at least 480,000 of them out there somewhere.
