That is a first, seeing an embossed whale. Wonderful finds! How deep were you?

RE: Fresh out of the water today... - 1/5/2012 6:48:12 PM    Wheelah23 Posts: 4294 Joined: 8/9/2010 From: Glen Ridge, New Jersey Status: offline You're singlehandedly making me want to take up bottle diving! I've seen that whale bottle once before online, maybe it was on eBay. I don't remember what it sold for, but it's a stunning bottle with that strange embossed picture! It makes sense to have a whale, being that it's from New Bedford... Cool! But it's not a hutch, it's a Baltimore Loop blob. Sometimes they're called "steamers". _____________________________ Looking for bottles from Glen Ridge, Montclair, Bloomfield, Orange, East Orange, West Orange, South Orange, and if I like 'em, any other bottles from Essex County NJ!
