The first thing I do is scrape off those pesky barnacles!

If the bottle was a slick, I would probably leave them. They make for a more interesting bottle. Just my two cents. We don't get barnacles in Missouri for some reason. Ha ha.

Hi Shellbay!

A very cool collection all around. I must say though, from what I've seen, some think they're worth more with the barnacles. --In any case its just a matter of preference. As long as you're on the southern flank don't forget the older Spanish treasure galleon wreck wash ups, and keep wearing the reflectors. I've been wearing them for years too. ... Hey, how about a Dutch gin bot for your next find?

I’m new to hunting (about 6 months), not sure what a slick is? I never considered keeping the barnacles on....... going hunting tomorrow on my kayak- will keep a few “natural” . People really like them with the barnacles? I guess since almost every bottle I find has at least 1 or 2 on them (some completely covered) I didn’t realize it was “a thing”.

Yo! Ho! Shellbay,

Slick- Smooth, no embossment or other traceable info.

Aye, you can bank on that "thing," matte. And be you in the tropics long enough, you might need a bigger boat. ARrrr!/congrats. --L

Hello! This is my first post and I’m hoping someone can help. I found this bottle in Guantanamo Bay several months ago. It’s quite similar to a Udolpho Wolfe bottle (found one of those today). I did a bit of research and was not able to find much on this bottle. I couldn’t even find a picture of it. Is anyone one familiar with CW Herwig?

Thank you!View attachment 235111

Great way to take a picture, on shells.

It looks a lot like Shellbay's bot on p1. Might have been intended for an ethnic German customer community nearby. Maybe the same bottle maker too. Then along comes TR... (We could use him today. )

First things first- welcome! That pretty bottle is right up my alley. And I love the way you photographed it. Creative, and it would help prop it up to catch the right light on the embossment for pix? Good job. Sweet bottle, too!

To clean or not to clean?? Bottle #2 is what the embossing is. This one has a huge chunk of coral attached to it

I'd leave that one as is, the coral is really cool and it looks like it doesn't even cover the embossing. Nice find!
