Welcome / Bienvenue
Welcome to the Early Canadian Bottle Works, my name is Darren Spindler, I am a bottle digger, collector and part-time researcher. I started collecting bottles around 1994 after finding several 1940's to 1960's sodas along the many hiking trails that I often trekked. Since then I have gained experience in locating sites and have found and added to my collection some rare and early Canadian bottles. I have lived in Brampton, Ontario since 1971 and consider it my hometown. It wasn't until I started finding old Brampton bottles that it spiked my interest in the local business history that helped shape a small town into the city of 452,000 plus people today. Although I still have a variety of bottles and stoneware from my digs I have now focused my collection to include any bottles & stoneware, old advertising, postcards, illustrated billheads, photographs etc. from the many businesses that operated in Brampton through the 1800's into the 1900's. I enjoy sharing my finds whether it be a bottle I dug on the weekend, a great find at a auction, or some new information researched at the archives. Historical research often gives you that same thrill as that first glimpse of a bottle buried for over a century and it is a great way to pass the off season. I am always looking to acquire any pieces from Brampton, Ontario. If you have anything you would like to sell, or if you have something you just like to share please feel free to email me. I would greatly appreciate any additional images or information that you would like to share with other bottle enthusiasts.

Enjoy the visit!
