Excavation workers sell antique bottles on the tailgates of their trucks.
Antique Glass Bottles Found Under Southcore Financial Centre & Delta Hotel Toronto, The Story of Rees' Wharf
Did I make any mistakes? I'm keen to fix anything I get wrong so that my error doesnt ripple through time
My focus is on the antique glass bottles that were liberated from the ground by excavators,
In present condition, I reckon if all of these bottles were sold as one lot on eBay tomorrow they would fetch approx two thousand dollars - combined value with the blue Pilgrim Soda and Commercial Ink Co bottles being most notable. Many of the Toronto cream and tan stoneware ginger beer bottles found on the lake shore are being bought privately by a Toronto bed and breakfast with unique display cases - thats where this Bill Robertson went. The interior is modeled on 1840s Age of Sail.
The bottles above are great, and although typical they're highly collectible - the one exception is this crusty beer bottle,
this piece is key to the history of Hornby Ontario, and there's a story here - its a puzzle how a Hornby beer bottle ended up down here at the base of Toronto, or perhaps testament to the quality and distribution of Brayn Bros Brewery in the early 1970s!
