    Round bottom..Ballast bottle?

    Actually the early metal crown caps had a flat piece of cork to seal between the crown top and the metal crown cap. Jay

    Antique bottle fitted into a small metal box (? related to tobacco ?)

    Dead eye

    I have one too I found in a zero visibility river where few if any divers go, should I of left it? All wrecks in salt water are in a constant state of degradation and in a lifetime will be literally nothing but rust and brass and glass. Storms will then toss that around. People have always...
