Really like this one. Always liked the embossed bottles with animals on them. I think I have another one or two with lions. May have to post those here too...

it is a neat bottle , you don't see anything from Knox Peterboro that often .

according to book they went by 5 different names from 1900 > 1920's , seems like original David Knox died early on and others ran it after

also went by - J Knox , Mrs Isabella Knox , Knox Brothers and Knox Soda Water Works

talk about a pile of possible variations which might be out there somewhere

I also just noticed these 2 Boorman's Peterboro bottles on marketplace , the first one is the clear bottle I already posted but second one is also for Boorman's

but only has " Boorman's Peterboro " embossed on the lower bottom

I'd also wonder if Peterborough has a local ginger ale bottle ? pretty much every town/city in Ontario has one but can't recall one from Peterborough ?
but assuming Boorman's or Gordon's beverages must of had a ginger ale bottle , most bottlers had a 6 or 7 oz small green ginger ale bottle
