some swimming bottle finds from summer 2020

[RCO]

more bottles found at a regular location I check every year . some obviously weren't worth keeping but I included everything in the pic .

lots of coca cola , oldest one was from 1936 . more Browns Beverages , 2 green Muskoka dry bottles , pepsi , 2 kist , large 7 up bottle , Canada dry , pure spring bottle that I don't often find here , and a diet rite cola

also some beer bottles , no deposit bottles , 2 pop cans - coca cola and sprite diet in bad shape

checked this location a second time after not finding much earlier this year but having found stuff in past years , came away with very little of interest

some modern beer bottles , lots of pop cans , couple golf balls , a mepps 5 fishing lure , some parts of smaller broken bottles , a Fruitopia juice bottle and a Crown Jar

went back to regular location 1 more time yesterday , more coca cola bottles some appear to be much older than normal , more Browns Beverages ( green bottle is for Browns lemon lime drink not muskoka dry , look similar but not the same ) , pepsi swirl bottle , broken 7 up shield bottle , green liquor bottle , broken older greenish bottle , Labatt blue can

an apple I phone , some kid on the dock was more impressed by it than the bottles , " so excited a cell phone " , not that it works anymore despite how expensive it might of been originally

more pictures of the older coca cola hubbleskirt , thinking this one is from the 1920's cause it has no date on the bottom and not marked coca cola Canada on side which they did by the 30's

only marking on bottom is a " D " dominion mark and 13

on the side reads " trade mark registered " and " min contents 6 fl ozs "

That Coke is an interesting one, I don't recognize that design. It's got to be an early one, maybe one or two generations after the D-19.

that's sort of what I was thinking , not as early as the D 19 but earlier than the 30's era coca cola bottles that are marked coca cola of Canada ltd

so 20's era seems most likely , have a lot of coca cola hubbleskirts that I've found around here but I don't have an unbroken example of this one yet , this would be closest I've come to attaining one

checked an entirely different dock in a major town , checked it once last year and found some soda bottles , not much there this year in terms of bottles

a green beer bottle , broken coca cola from 50's and a liquor bottle

found my first anchor , small modern one , would assume it can still be used if someone wanted to

also found 4 lures , one says Mepps on it but never seen it before , seemed to be a lot of fishing stuff there , at this point have so much used fishing tackle I don't know what to do with it all , could fill at least 2 or 3 boxes just with the stuff I've found the last few years

checked the river location again , slightly different spot and with good visibility found more stuff

lots of modern beer bottles , older liquor bottle , green bottle , Howdy bottle , broken Teem bottle , grape crush can from 90's

3 coca cola , broken one 1939 and other 1941

6 Browns Beverages bottles , 4 are broken though

checked the busy dock location again , didn't find much , was a few more modern beer bottles there but didn't bring them up as there just going in recycling anyways .

did find a couple interesting items , 7 up metal can from early 80's , not sure how it survived down there , damaged milk jug from Huntsville Dairy , green 7 oz bottle has fant writing on it , was a ginger ale bottle from North Bay Ontario for silver foam ginger ale

 

[RCO]

can't take a close up on ginger ale but its from North Bay Ontario , Silver Foam was a local brand , listed as operating from 1943-1950 and then became Garlands Beverages , its bottles are pretty hard to find , this is actually the first time I've ever found one but I'm an hour south of North Bay so doubt it was actually sold here , likely left by a traveller using highway which passes nearby

have a picture of what one looks like , would of had red paint and white on back ( its the bottle on the right , other one is the Sudbury bottle )

the Milk Jug is from Huntsville Dairy , which was the main dairy in the Huntsville area from early 50's > 60's , never found a complete one yet , this jug is smaller than a full size one , too bad its damaged it was a neat find
