I have two bottles,the bottoms are not flat. what would have been in here? Anyone know what for and how old?
The "ballast" idea is a myth. Think about it. Why would anyone choose bottles as ballast? They were CARGO!To keep the cork wet so that it wouldn't shrink and lose seal. Many of those type bottles also doubled as ballast in the ships they were hauled in.
