Ontario Dairies is a ambitious project that
will need the assistance of dairy collectors and novices from Ontario and
beyond. Most of us have referred to the Ontario Dairy & Creamery List by
Glen Phillips to locate and date our bottle finds. This project is the
next step and will allow everyone to view, compare and share their
bottles. The goal is to get at least one image for every dairy that
operated in Ontario from around 1900 onward. I am looking for any dairy
images including; bottles, caps, advertising, go-withs, people, dairy
operations etc. If you are interested in contributing your images please
contact me at the email below. |

|
I am looking for good quality photographs / scans. Please make
sure that the photographs / scans are yours that your have
taken yourself. If you have saved Ebay images, copies of
copyrighted material or any web images from other sites,
please do not submit them. The larger the image or file, the
better and easier it is to work with. Please photograph or
scan items individually as this also saves me time (less time
= more updates) and allows for a better end result. It is best
to send me a couple of samples to confirm quality and size
prior to sending multiple images. All images you contribute
remain your property and will not be used for any other
purpose without your prior consent. One last thing, please be
patient. Once you have sent me your images I will usually post
some right away. The rest I will post over a period of time
that depending on how many photos you have sent. At any time I
have many contributors and try my best to evenly distribute
the posting of everyone's images. If you have sent a
substantial amount of images, don't worry I will eventually
get to posting all your images. Lastly, thanks for your time
and effort improving Ontario Dairies.

I started collecting in the early 1990's finding
1930's-60's sodas and milks. I have always had a preference for
embossed milk bottles probably because I could dig them quite easily.
I know there are many collectors who prefer the pyro (ACL,
silk-screened) bottles and I can see the reasons why. The great
graphics, war slogans, various colours make them wonderful to collect
especially when you have a whole wall of them displayed. Then you have
all the great caps, calendars, and other go-withs which just add so
much more to a collection. It is a great learning experience for me to do this project and I will
continue to do my best in presenting great images from collections
across the country. |
