Hello there! Found this bottle. It says 16 oz on it. Just wondering if anyone has any idea age and what it was used for.

It has a spout. Thank You!

It is a master ink bottle. Looks like it is machine made so I would say probably 1920’s.
Thank you! It was my best find of the day. I found it in the waters of Guantanamo Bay while snorkeling!

The bottle looks exactly the same, just no embossing.

Nice find! I've never seen a Stafford without embossing before, but it's not that uncommon to see unembossed versions of iconic bottles. I'm not sure if they're the result of copycats or just the company occasionally using bottles without embossing.

If I had to guess your Bottle probably just had a Paper Label on it. Kinda like in the 1930's when they stopped embossing Beer Bottles & just slapped a paper label on them. Minus some possible exceptions. Just my opinion. LEON.

Hey Shellbay,

Keep snorkeling!

Before you know it you'll be bringing up a piece of the USS Maine! :)

Congrats on a nice find.
