Very cool bottle and you're lucky there's still a paper label on it. These bottles had highly pressurized liquids in them, like seltzer, and were meant to be stored on their sides - hence the rounded bottoms. I found a similar one in an 1880s pit.
Great question :) It's all old, like late 1800s old, so I feel bad about chucking it. It could have some historical value? Maybe?
I'm putting a lot of it in storage bins until I can decide what to do with it.
Hit my usual beach today (a brisk 25 degrees in my part of NY) and found an odd phenomenon - shotgun shells washed in by the tide standing upright.
So weird.
I love these suggestions. I had no idea that glassblowers might want it. This site is absolutely riddled with bottle remnants from the 1880s. I find every piece fascinating and I've had so much fun tracking down the origins of shards. Been lucky enough to pull out a few unbroken keepers too.
So much glass dug from the beach today but nothing intact
:(Still has part of a cork in it
New York shards
My only intact guy was this modern whatever. LAAAAME
More shards plus old nails
Crazy heavy wine bottle bases that could definitely murder a person
Various stern warnings that this...
Ooohhh jealous! I'm on LI too. On a related note, do you know why there's so much sea glass at Tappan Beach? I searched local history but didn't find anything.
Found this bottle eroding out of a sand dune today on Long Island NY. Stamped "No Deposit No Return" around top and "A1 / 35 / 17-19" on bottom. Guessing 1960s or 70s beer or soda?
