found this yesterday , had noticed a road corner outside of town had been some digging near the surface . since it was an old road in original location and near an old gas station I figured I'd check to see if any bottles were unearthed nearby . sure enough it didn't take very long to find one and some broken shards of coca cola bottles too .
this bottle cleaned up nice but when I found it was full of dirt and small roots , I couldn't tell if the machines broke it or if it was broken years ago , the breaks on it appear to be recent . fairly common local bottle from 30's-40's era , a brown's beverages gravenhurst bottle but still sad to think they might of just smashed it up recently without much concern for its history

was out driving in the area again today and noticed some other areas where the ground had been dug up maybe by the hydro . mostly modern junk but came across another broken local pop bottle , in very poor condition but another bottle from Browns Beverages the acl version
