didn't go to the honey hole location but checked out some area spots that I have previously found bottles or though might contain some . around here though its mostly same bottles in different locations as we didn't have that much variety in terms of local bottlers . oldest bottle I found was this clear medical bottles , that I found swimming near an island in one of our major lakes , the island is near site of an old hotel not sure if it might of came from there or just floated there maybe garbage from a ship

some finds from lake of bays area , went swimming in a couple locations on that lake which is one of the larger lakes in this area and popular with cottagers and tourists for years at site of some old docks found some bottles , including an old whiskey , coca cola , o ' keefes beverages ginger beer bottle , the light blue bottle is for clearly Canadian not that old maybe 90's era but neat blue colour , also a brown's beverages 10 oz bottle . and went back another day but didn't find much a damaged acl version of browns beverage bottle and a hires root beer bottle . also found a lot of really gross modern beer bottles at this location all went into glass recycling as they were too dirty and such to even try return for deposit .

also found an odd 7up bottle in the woods along a road , it was near some old rusty cans near the surface , its for 10 oz , a lot of the acl has faded away unfortuently , think its from late 60's or early 70's

Hand tooled?

I don't know if its hand tooled or not , definity looks to be old like 1900's - 10's era maybe be my guess , that's also an era when that lake was busy and hotels nearby doing well .
