✅ SOLVED Very unique bottle, Squirrel, Chas wilson.

[Joecoins]

Hello again,
I would like to get some info on a bottle if possible,
I have myself found atleast 5 bottle dumps, 3 back in lachute quebec, i have dug them many time and found some realy nice bottles, sold some on ebay, my favorite was one "ozone is life. Toronto". Anyways. I havent dug any recently unfortunatly. I do know a bit about dating them. This particular bottle was not dug though, it was a girft.
I would like some help getting info on it,
I think once i saw a ceramic version of the bottle.
Anyone ever seen one of these? Is it rare?

Looks like the seam ends at the middle of the neck

Thank you

I hope this helps you in your research. It's a soda bottle from the Charles (Chas) Wilson Bottling Company

This bottle is referred to as the: Tall Aqua Crown

The crown top, like the one your bottle has, was patented in 1892. I never find any in any trash pit before around 1900 though. I start seeing them in trash pits from around 1900-1910. I have never found a single one in a trash pit from the 1880's through late 1890's/1900, which produced around 70 complete bottles, and 6 buckets of broken bottles. I would guess yours is from around 1910, the bottle looks very similar the ones I find in a circa 1910 trash pit I dug.
