Brown bottle w/ weird finish/residue - 12/1/2011 10:37:22 PM    norflo2norcal   Posts: 44 Joined: 4/18/2011 From: Fleming Island, FL Status: offline My mother handed over her bottle collection to me tonight, and this was in the bunch.  It has a strange irridescent sheen to it.  Is this just a result of being in the elements for so long?  And what could it have been used for?  There is some writing on the bottom, but I can't make it out.

Most often found in dug bottles. I believe some river finds can be oxidized as well. A lot of people don't care for it. Me, I celebrate some serious psykness. Go HERE for some previous discussions.
