I don't think I ever found a bottle in the Pine Barrens, but not from lack of trying. Best thing I found was piles of slag at Malaga from the old glass works. Mostly just got lost in the maze of sand roads. There has to be something around the Atsion Mansion but we never found anything. Go a little further west to Camden and dig a privy - bring a gun.I am actually local. North Jersey guy my whole life. Just bought a beach house in LBI. Agreed everyone calls it Jersey Devil NOW. my point to Robby was before 1900 it wasn’t really known as Jersey devil so having that name and image on a flask from late 1800s would have been odd. As you and the experts point out it must be a fantasy glass flask, and there never was an “original” version of this piece.
Btw- I hear there are some decent bottle dumps in the pine barrens. Any body in that area looking for a digging partner this summer?
