Hey Red,
I am a little confused about your address. Please check your email and let me know so I can get these out to you. Thanks, Bob

Good, story. There were intentionally broken local bottles in our old city dump. Best guess is they were broken to keep competitors from reusing them which seemed to be a significant concern.

A FOOT HIGH BROKEN CHERO COLAS IN OUR DUMP AND RIGHT ON TOP OF THE GROUND TOO!

To link to another thread - maybe somebody should be turning that stuff into beach glass.[]

Hey Matt (Indianabottledigger),
Here are some pictures of individual stoppers from the dive. The first is one with a large bubble in it. This may be the coolest one.

You can also see in that picture that the rubber hat (seal) has an August patent date on it.

Here is one with a smaller bubble. Below the bubble is a flat ribbon of tiny seed bubbles that look like a thin (two-dimentional) sheet inside the stopper.

This next shot shows a row of some of the neater (or more odd) stoppers.

- At left, the stopper is mis-molded so that it looks dented (middle right side)
- The next one is the one with the sheet-like thin layer of bubbles.
- third from the left is the big bubbled one.
- The middle one has a slightly different shape and a bubble as well.
- The next is the only amethyst (SCA) out of all of them.
- Second from the right also is mis-molded and looks dented (lower right).
- At right is one with the rings up on the gasket end.
