Tim Braithwaite Collection

Tim Braithwaite Collection Updated
Saturday October 27, 2012

When I first spoke to Tim Braithwaite he had mentioned that he was digging in dumps 25 - 30 years ago. So I was expecting to meet someone who was much older than myself. I was surprised to find out that Tim was about the same age. His father was a treasure hunter and used to take Tim along on his excursions when he was young. Metal detecting and coin collecting was part of that early exposure to the hobby. From the early days of catching rides into Toronto to dig his favourite spots, to renting property and digging it with a back hoe, Tim has accumulated extensive knowledge and digging experience. Tim’s bottle collecting has evolved over time and in the last six years he has specialized in collecting ginger beers and with an additional new focus on primitives in the last year. The 74 images presented here a test to fact that Tim has acquired many great Canadian stone bottles. Tim is always in the market for new acquisitions and can be contacted through the e-mail below. I would like to thank Tim for inviting us into his home to photograph his collection and for sharing it here with everyone.
