    "Patent" bottle from Haiti

    I happen to be doing some scientific diving off the north coast of Haiti at the moment (and experiencing Tropical Storm Erika as I write this). One of our scientists turned up a bottle on a soft mud slope at around 15 meters depth. It has an applied finish and the mold lines (not very apparent...

    Nyal Quality medicine bottle

    Haven't posted a question here in some time as I have been too busy to go out and hunt for bottles recently. I was, however, hunting for fossils in a river in South Florida when I came across several older broken bottles (what a shame) and one that was intact. It's embossed I'm guessing, from...

    Old Soda? Bottle

    Here's a slightly different bottle from my small collection. It appears to be a soda bottle with a lip which I believe is called a "crown". This is the type of bottle top that I'm familiar with as it resembles the bottles that I drank out of (and returned for the deposit) when I was a kid...

    Green (wine?) bottle

    I'm assuming that this light green bottle was likely used to hold wine as it looks much like a modern day wine bottle in size and shape. I know it is not a modern day wine bottle due to the applied finish. The lip shape is mostly a simple band and the very top edge of the lip is beveled at an...

    Six To Gallon bottle

    Here is another interesting (to me at least) clear glass bottle with distinct evidence of being made in a 3-piece mold. It has a slightly crude applied finish that is fairly shapeless compared to my other bottles - rather like a flat band of glass. The neck is bowed-out in what I see online is...

    Small 3-piece mold black glass bottle

    Here's another of my favorite black glass bottles from my most recent bottle hunting trip. The mold marks show that this was made in a 3-piece mold as the ring around the neck of the bottle and adjoining vertical lines are fairly apparent. From what I have learned online this bottle shows what I...

    "Burst top" Edward Manwaring

    Can anybody provide me information as to what this little bottle was likely used for? It seems to have a "burst top" which, being a very simple and cheap finish, would indicate it might have held something relatively inexpensive. Don't know if the embossed EDWARD MANWARING is a manufacturer's...

    Black glass 3-piece mold "rustic" bottle

    I am impressed at the depth of knowledge to be found from the members of this forum. My first post of a question on an embossed Codd bottle received quick and informative replies. This next post is not likely to be as easy to supply information for but I'm curious as to what the forum gurus can...

    West India Aerated & Mineral Water Codd bottle

    I've recently discovered a new obsession - diving for antique bottles. My addiction has been facilitated in large part by new friends from Bermuda who have helped to show me the ropes and guide me up the learning curve. We recently braved the chilly Bermudan waters in search of bottles and did...
