This is a c1915 York Springs Mineral Water Soda Water Bottle from Toronto has a 'Crown Top'. It stands 7 3/4 inches tall and measures 2.5 inches at the base. There's some staining inside the bottle which I'll leave for the new owner to clean. The bottle has lots of air bubbles and imperfections; it displays beautifully and is in perfect condition. Here's a chance to own a piece of Toronto history.
York Springs Toronto Historical Information: On the west side of Yonge was a large tract of land owned by the Gooderham family, who used it as a summer retreat. When springs were discovered, Mineral Springs Limited was formed to bottle and sell spring water. This was no small concern, as the watercourses entering the downtown area and those of the harbour were heavily polluted at the time. Mineral water was dispensed from this site for almost 20 years; however, the name was later changed to York Springs Limited. After a fire destroyed their main building in downtown Toronto, the O'Keefe Brewing Company took over the site. The earlier company had purchased it in 1906, and O'Keefe in 1931 when this company erected a windmill to pump the waters into their brewery. Operations ceased in 1934, but O'Keefe's maintained the grounds around the windmill until 1954 when the apartment building was constructed. A small fountain was built over the York springs.
