Caribbean shard

[bottle codger]

Greetings. First time poster but I’ve been learning a lot these past few months. I have been interested in bottles since the late 60's. I'll post some that I dug in 1971 later. I really like this forum and enjoy all the stories. Matt, thanks for the bottle guide. Chris, your Baltimore digs are great. Tigue 710- your finds are truly amazing. Bottlediger-your stories would make a great book. They psych me up. Thanks to you all for the information and entertainment.

I went to the Caribbean in 1981. We went the Tortolla Island in the British Virgin Islands. Up in some ruins high on the hills above the bay we found bottle shards. I brought back 3 bottle tops. 2 have gone missing. Her are a few pictures of one. Man I wish I had the whole bottle. What do you think it is from?

Thank you, I appreciate that! I'm just obsessed really... Welcome to the forum!

that looks like a pig nose case gin, they date from a broad range of time, up until the 1870's. Most of the more commonly found pig nose case gins date from the 1820's to the 1870's or so. Wouldn't mind finding a few!
