Hey gang...

It has been a while since I posted any photo's of underwater finds, so here's one...

I found it last year, and I haven't been able to find out what it is. The overall outside shape suggests that it may be some kind of blacking bottle, but the neck is really strange, channeled? I don't know. Check it out[8|]

I've seen one of these about 30 years ago, but it was aqua. The owner figured that the grooves inside the neck guided a pill at a time to be dispensed. I really have no idea. It's a very interesting bottle, though.

C'mon guys, tell us what you think. There are more questions than answers here!

Hey Wayne, nice little odd bottle. You sure are getting good with that camera slicky boy..[8D]

Could be for some kind of stopper. Just a guess.

Hey Cap...

I have to be able to do something with this camera, I'm gonna be taking a lot of pictures when you guys get up here.[:)]

Got to have something to blackmail you with...[:eek:] So I'm practicing. Also, I'm buying a new underwater digital camera, so all you guys and gals can enjoy the underwater bottle world and I'm gonna take you up on your advice to write a book... I hope.[&:]

here is my theory on the bottle for what its worth...
It appears to be a boot blacking/polish bottle. The neck restrictions would be for squeezing excess polish off applicator as you take it out of the bottle, preventing dripping. Current liquid polish bottles often do similar.
