Hello everyone...

Found this bottle last September and I'm trying to decide whether I should clean it or not...

It was found 3/4 buried in the mud at about 28'.  I only saw this part of the bottle...

It turned out to be a nice Stoddard, open pontiled, flared lip, olive/amber medicine/utility bottle

One more look...  Enjoy...

I would definately clean it unless you are planning on displaying it in your aquarium. Nice bottle.
