the 2 older coca cola's weren't even that dirty and cleaned up easily , found in very shallow water near a dock . the brown's also cleaned easily . these 2 coca cola's are from 1945 and 46

from another location this past weekend near an old hotel , older stuff but pretty much everything there is broken , ( can safety swim there as long is your careful and remove 1-2 bottles at a time ) , other than the whiskey bottle I found , actually first not broken bottle other than modern beer bottles I have found there . broken bottles include some older liquor bottles and whiskey flasks ? the broken clear shard pierces did say " imperial " on it before I dropped it when taking pictures

keep finding more stuff checked a new location at a small park that is on a lake , park looked like it had been there for a while so though bottles might be in nearby lake . clear water to see but bottom very soft and a lot of sand for bottles to hide in , did find a couple , an old 11 oz Canada dry and an older corked Listerine bottle .

the Listerine cleaned , realise its a fairly common bottle , still neat its an older corked version , seemed like an odd bottle to find swimming at a park/picnic site though

the Stroh beer bottle all cleaned up , maybe one of our Michigan members knows more about this bottle , I'm not really at all familar with it , looks to be fairly old , also found it on July 4 which seemed like a good day to find an American bottle in a lake in Canada

"STROH " Detroit Registered on top and Contents 12 1/2 fluid ounces on base , no other markings
