Need Help - 1/8/2012 3:47:56 PM    Bones   Posts: 11 Joined: 1/2/2012 Status: offline Hi my name is Eric and I'm new to the forum. Can anyone help identify and age this bottle I found in a LI, NY river? The bottle is 3 3/4" tall and has a capital "M" near the base. Thanks Attachment (1) Post #: 1

Age-wise, it's about 1850's or a bit earlier, since it has an open pontil mark on the base.. And yes, that's a capital M.. it should be sufficient to identify the maker when someone with the right knowledge sees this post. I've condensed this into one thread for you...
