Hi all,
Hope you're well. I found this bottle last week. I've done quite a bit of research, but haven't been able to nail down any of the details that would provide more information on its age and heritage. Unfortunately, I only have about a quarter of the bottle. I dug it up at a very low Spring tide, so it's probably been there a while and it was 'neck' down in the mud, with only the base showing.
I dug around for other remnants, but found none. I have researched the script on the bottle, but can't even place the 'backwards 'h'. Thought it could be Cryllic, but that doesn't seem to match either. It appears to be machine made, but as i'm a novice I could be wrong. There are 3 nodules on the base along with appears to be the letter, 'I', or a '1'. Up near the punch there seems to be the numerals, '16'. I'd be grateful if anyone has any ideas? The glass is about 5mm thick.
In the same location, I also found a shard of a bottle with a swastika on it and also one with a heraldic emblem (Wolf's head, with banding underneath), also Stoneware whisky flagons, but with the maker's mark on. The beach is on the coast where the German Grand Fleet surrendered after WW1.
Best wishes,
A
Here's the other two finds (apologies for the poor photos), but they're pretty small. The 'Wolf' is on aqua marine glass, very worn and the 'swastika' on almost clear glass. Bother found on the beach and not alot more to go on! I know the swastika was an old Christian symbol, so not necessarily Nazi. Any ideas??
Many thanks.
