another swim at the spot where I found the old coke last weekend but didn't really find much here either and oddly no coke bottles at all , last swim could no move without finding one

2 Browns beverages , muskoka dry ginger ale , Hires Root Beer , Pepsi , clear Canada dry bottle

3 broken older looking green bottles , all look kind of old but no markings or embossing on any of them

another swim off the dock yesterday , found more bottles but nothing that old or interesting

2 older green beer bottles , 6 coca cola ( oldest from mid 50's ) , Browns beverages , Pepsi cola from 1950 , stubby pop bottle , 2 older Kist bottles

Garlands beverages bottle from North Bay Ontario , beehive style missing acl paint though from 50's or 60's era , found this bottle before here although not sure if Garlands was actually being sold here or if people from there just passed thru here a lot , but I suspect it had some distribution south of north bay along the highway 11 corridor as that area used to have a lot of gas stations and smaller restaurants back then

more swim finds off the dock ,

more modern beer bottles , 2 cell phones one been there for several years and other maybe only a short time .

an acl coke bottle , 2 pepsi from 63 and 70's as it says money back MLS , Browns Beverages acl bottle , kist , Crush

Cormacks Ginger Ale bottle from Parry Sound Ontario , despite it being local . I've never actually found one in the wild before , not entirely sure why . they operated from late 50's into the late 60's era , so its not really that old but has a neat look to it , acl label somewhat faded but can read the writing on back , person who threw it in lake clearly could not read

" best when served ice cold , help us maintain our service by returning empty bottles promptly - contents 10 fl oz - A.V. Cormack & Son Beverages - Parry Sound Ont "
