this is the bottle I found on facebook marketplace from the lady in North Bay Ontario and strangely afterwords my account is now disabled . so may be my first and last purchase off that site . also the first embosed druggist bottle I've found in over a year , with no bottle shows and covid just wasn't finding any
not sure how it made its way to Ontario , Truro is a town in Nova Scotia . so it travelled a long way from home .
had never seen this one before , not familiar with the design either . part of it looks similar to a lifesaver candy and being atlantic Canada maybe it is a life saver from a boat .
H.L Atkins was a chemist / druggist who operated in Truro , don't have the exact dates he operated but was one post online that said he was there around 1900 but could of started earlier and lasted later .
no maker mark on the bottle , but reads " H.L Atkins , Truro Dispensary , Truro , Chemist
