Hey guys...
Thank you all for the help. I found this outside of the navy yard , but had no real idea about what it might have been. it has a great color to it and the neck was really unusual. That's what I initially thought it was (blacking bottle) Thanks Matt!
Ron, what gives you the idea that it may be English?
Warren, I think I'm gonna make a thumb dude movie!!!! How's that for growin up?
I got a bunch of "Thumb Dude" ideas [
] You wait n see[]

Neat bottle Wayne, but I gotta ask, How close are you diving by the sub base? I've done business there and it usually takes me 30 -45 minutes just to get through the gate! I bet they would take a REAL interest in your bubbles if you got too close. I don't know if I asked this in the past (I've been away from the Forum for better part of a year), have you taken the plunge in Sebago or Moosehead? I hear there's all kinds of things in them, from Spitfires to a side wheel paddle boat, not to mention virgin forest 'King's Pine' masts that sunk on the way to the canal.

My first impression was also that it might be an English import.
The lip style is more commonly seen on imports.
The color is odd for a late 19th century American bottle but not that odd for english bottles of that period.
Newton is a common english name.
Just a feeling at this point.

Just think when all you guys get together Wayne will be able to take thumb glamour shots for all of you. Maybe even some type of thumb group digging photo to post here. A composition entitled "Thumbs in their natural enviroment".
Also that is a realy nice bottle. By looking at it the single pill theory looks very plausable to me. Nice find!

Hi Wayne,
This looks like an interesting bottle and I give it a search on the Net. I found out that a ship named S.S. Newton was wrecked on a reef near Madeira in 1881. So maybe this is not a person name but a ship.
I'm sorry my English stops right before the letter "s" so I have no idea what S. S. stands for, but I'm sure you, like an old, but strong, sea-wolf will do.
Take care!
