in Canada" by Doris and Peter

"Bottles in Canada" is the

Bill Hart of Seaforth who is a
recognized authority on sealers
and crocks. Mr. Hart has been
a keen bottle collector for many
years and photographs of items
from his collection appear
throughout the publication.
A picture taken by Rob Brady
and which appeared in the
Expositor a year ago shows the
Unitts as they visited. Mr.Hart
and recorded details of . his
collection.
The picture on the cover is
of bottles dug up by Graeme
Young, David Staffe n and Colin
Young, who have become ser-
ious collectors as a result of
the training and encouragement
given them by Bill Hart.
The Unitts include a picture
of the youths at work in their
dig and in a chapter dealing
with the Hart collection des-
cribe their work.

Staffen and Colin Young, three
student friends of Bill Hart, took

CLEANERS
months, after it had been closed
for fifty years.
"Small spade, wooden rake,
hand trowel, gloves, if you want
to protect your hands, and lots
of care combined with patience
are needed to dig successfully.
In a fairly short time several
bottles had been recovered in-
tact plus the enamel bowl, var-
ious pottery shards and broken
dishes. The boys continued to
dig until they filled the bowls."
The authom went on the des-
scribe methods of cleaning
the finds and concluded' • we were
pleased to discover some
Canadian bottles in the group,
also aqua, dark blue and some
turning amethyst. So pleasing
did the line up look that we
decided to use it for the cover."
