Peterborough

ON-134 Wm. Croft

"Wm Croft / Peterboro"

Description: Tan quart.
Height:
Base:
Category: 3

Note: This bottle has been repaired - there is no guarantee the lip is original or the correct
shape. William Croft was listed as a ginger beer maker on Sherbrooke Street in Peterborough
in 1858. According to the 1871 federal census, he was a 46 year old hotel-keeper in
Peterborough West. He returned to the bottling business around 1900.

Picton….continued

ON-137 McCartney & Sayers

"McCartney & Sayers / Picton Ont"

Description: Brown small quart.
Height: 8 1/4"
Base:
Category: 5

Note: This is a very unusual bottle, with a glaze
we have not seen on other Canadian primitives.
It is a highly attractive bottle, and is extremely
rare (two known to us, only one mint).

ON-138 Capt. Wm. Young

"Capt. Wm. Young"

Description: Grey quart.
Height:
Base:
Category: 4

Note: Capt. William Young was born in 1809,
died in 1885. He settled in Wellington County,
Ontario in the 1840's, with 600 acres fronting
Lake Ontario. At one point, he was the Clerk of
the Divisional Court in Wellington. His son
opened a dry goods store in Picton. We can
only conjecture Capt. Young sold beer or ginger
beer from the family store. This is the only
known "Captain" marked bottle, thus will fetch a
premium.

"B. Minor"

Description: Grey small quart, blue wash in lettering.
Height: 8 1/2"

Prescott

ON-145 D Daniels

"D Daniels / Prescott"

Description: Grey quart, blue wash in lettering.
Height: 10 1/4"
Base: Smooth
Category: 3

ON-146 D Daniels

"D Daniels / Prescott"

Description: Yellow ochre quart.
Height: 9 1/2"
Base: Smooth
Category: 3

Note: This bottle has incredibly tiny print - it is
almost indiscernible. We have seen two, and have
to question - was this the only size font in the
potter's toolbox that day? The print is located
above the shoulder, halfway up the neck.

"William,Ellis / East.India / Pale Ale /
Prescott,Brewery"

Description: Tan quart, blue wash in lettering.
Height: 9 1/2"
Base: Smooth
Category: 5

Note: Both of these bottles are Category 5 bottles
due to their very odd lips, the multiple lines of
writing, and the product descriptions - quite scarce
on Canadian bottles.

Prescott….continued

ON-153 Mooney

" ? Mooney P"

Description: Brown redware squat quart with red splotches.
Height:
Base:
Category: 5

Note: Mooney was an 1840s potter in Prescott, Ontario. This bottle was
found by a diver off Prescott, hence the attribution. The bottle is very
early and unusual, perhaps the only marked redware bottle in Canada.

Primitive Stoneware Bottles of Canada www.canadianbottles.com 154

Renfrew

ON-154 R C Archer

"R C Archer"

Description: Grey quart, blue wash in lettering.
Height: 9 1/2"
Base: Smooth
Category: 2

Note: According to the 1871 federal census, 50 year old Richard Archer was a baker,
born in England, doing business in Renfrew village. This bottle was found outside
Cobden, Ontario, alongside a stash of Mrs. Baker F. Falls bottles, a couple of Menzies
bottles from Pembroke and the A. Starr from Brockville.

Base:
Category: 2

ON-156 J.W. Lindsay

"JW Lindsay"

Description: Grey pint.
Height: 6 1/2"
Base:
Category: 2

Note: According to the 1871 federal
census, 66 year old John W. Lindsay
was listed as a blacksmith, born in the
United States. It is possible that
Lindsay sold soda water as a sideline,
or perhaps that he had a different
trader in an earlier day. A historical
footnote - Lindsay might be the only
Canadian soda water bottler of this era
who was of African descent!

"F A Meyer"

Description: Grey quart, blue lip.

Simcoe

ON-159 Fred A. Fick

"F. A. F."

Description: Grey quart.
Height: 10 3/4"
Base: Smooth
Category: 2

Note: Fred A. Fick was a soda water manufacturer in Simcoe from 1875-1878. This
attribution is made partially on the basis of the matching of fairly uncommon initials, but
also due to the fact that similarly shaped bottles were used by bottlers including Farrar in
Canboro, Brown in Chatham and Minor in Port Colbourne.

Primitive Stoneware Bottles of Canada www.canadianbottles.com 158

Smith's Falls

ON-160 R Baird & Bro

"R Baird & Bro' / Smiths Falls C W"

Description: Brown/grey quart.
Height: 9 3/4"
Base: Smooth
Category: 5

Note: This bottle is a rich dark grey/brown,
representing a small town pre-Confederation
merchant. According to the 1871 federal
census, 39 year old Robert Baird was an
accountant! Perhaps soda water was a
sideline, or an earlier venture?

ON-161 Wilson Garrett

"Wilson Garrett / Smith Falls"

Description: Grey quart.
Height: 10"
Base: Smooth
Category: 3

Note: In the 1871 federal census, 34 year
old Wilson Garrett was a baker and
confectioner, born in Ontario, of Irish
descent.

Base: Smooth
Category: 2

ON-163 J. Pratt

"J Pratt / Smiths Falls"

Description: Orange quart.
Height: 10 1/2"
Base: Smooth
Category: 4

Note: This Pratt is a rare orange coloured stoneware
which appears to be a regional pottery type only
seen in Eastern Ontario. The bottles are extremely
distinctive, and are therefore quite collectible.

Primitive Stoneware Bottles of Canada www.canadianbottles.com 160

Strathroy

ON-164 George.M. Francis

"G.M. Francis / Strathroy"

Description: Light tan pint.
Height: 6 3/8"

George M. Francis was listed as a baker and boarder in the federal census.
He sold his shop in 1884.

Toronto

ON-165 John Barton

"J.B. / Toronto / C.W."

Description: Multi-sided grey or brown quart.

Category: 5

Note: This bottle is attributed to John Barton. Two different
colour variants are shown here.

ON-166 John A Farr

"J.A.F. / T"

Description: Very small pint, grey.
Height: 5 3/4" - 6"
Base: Smooth
Category: 2

ON-167 John A Farr

"Dr. Cronk / J A F "

Description: Medium tan quart with brown slip.
Height: 10 3/4"
Base: Cronk-style
Category: 2

Note: The casual or new collector may easily
wonder, "Who is Dr. Cronk?" Dr. Cronk is
perhaps most easily explained as the Coca-Cola
of the 19th century. Cronk had tens of thousands
of bottles manufactured at a plant in Akron, Ohio,
with his name and often the name of the local
franchisee (in this case, John A Farr). The bottle
was distinctive, and was used across Ontario
and in many US states, and the franchisees sold
Cronk Beer and other Cronk products.

"G.J.F."

Description: Grey quart.
Height:
Base: Cronk-style
Category: 2

Note: There is a listing for George J. Fiedler in
Chatham in 1893 as a ginger beer manufacturer.
But there is also a GJ Fiedler listed in Toronto in
1894. We have listed this bottle in both places,
but have numbered it only in Chatham. There is
also a transfer printed Fiedler bottle from
Chatham.

ON-172 Q S Grainger

"Q.S.G."

Description: Small grey pint.
Height: 6 1/4 - 6 1/2"
Base: Smooth

"J.F. Murray / Toronto"

Description: Yellow or grey pint, with or
without blue wash in lettering.
Height: 6 1/4"

Category: 2

Note: The pint bottle seems fairly
common as primitives go. Apparently
there is also a quart in existence?

ON-177 J Shannon

"J Shannon / Toronto C.W."

Description: Grey pint.
Height: 6 3/4"
Base:
Category: 5

Note: This bottle is both extremely rare and
highly sought after, thus market demand makes
it a Category 5 bottle.

ON-178 J Shannon

"J Shannon / {beaver} / Toronto"

Description: Brown pint.
Height: 7"
Base:
Category: 3

Note: One might think that Canada's only bottle
with an incised beaver would be in a higher
category, but there would appear to be a
number of these bottles around.

Primitive Stoneware Bottles of Canada www.canadianbottles.com 170

Toronto….continued

ON-179 J Shannon

"J Shannon"

Description: Reddish tan quart, blue wash in
lettering. On the reverse is a hand-painted image of
a man smoking a cigarette. The man is on the right,
with a large hooked nose, and the smoke from the
cigarette goes up on the left. This bottle is unique,
and is possibly the work of a bored potter with a bit
of blue glaze on his fingers and a bit of time of his
hands.
Height: 9 1/2"
Base: Smooth
Category: 5

Note: This bottle is arguably North America's best
stoneware primitive.

Note: Extremely rare bottle.

ON-180 H. Sproatt

"H Sproatt / Toronto"

Description: Grey quart, blue wash in lettering.
Height: 9 3/4"
Base:
Category: 4

Note: In 1871, Henry Sproatt was 68, likely retired.
Sproatt used cobalt blue, pontilled glass bottles as well,
so his bottles likely date from the 1850s-60s.

UN-6 W Rand
Height: 8"

similar to Upper Canada era crocks. It was found in Eastern Ontario,

has similarities to Perth area bottles.

UN-9 John Onzier

Note: Like the Willats Brothers bottle, I'd suggest that John Onzier is
actually an anglicism of Jean Angers. This bottle has striking
similarities to Eastern Ontario bottles.

Unknown….continued

UN-10 Willats Brothers
Height: 6 3/4"
