Hi

I'm new to the forum so hope you can help me learn more about bottles. I have found 3 old bottles this week on the farm where I work, on the river flats of the Northern Wairoa River in Northland New Zealand. This area was first settled by Europeans in the early 1800"s and many artifacts have been found in this area, both pre and post-European periods. This coffee & chicory bottle from Symington & Co, Edinburgh was found when a digger found a small rubbish hole. There was a lot of smashed glass etc and I got 2 bottles out intact. I will post the other bottle also.
