Provenance |
Likely made at a Dominion Glass precursor glass factory. Dominion Glass was a Canadian glass company, that began in 1913 (when they were incorporated). It was formed from a merger of glass companies that year. The Owen Sound Dairy Co. Ltd. was established in May of 1911 and was located at 1125 3rd Ave. West, Owen Sound, Grey County. This item likely dates to the early years of the business. Provenance unknown. Last belonged to John D. (Dave) Rahn of RR#2, Allenford, Bruce County. |
