Contents still inside

[Bottles r LEET]

VTdigger, Cover the cork in hot wax. When it dries, it will have an airtight seal.

Blackglass, The cap says old quaker on it.

When I lived n Sacramento, I was able to dig a section of the old Philadelphia House. The remnants of the boarding house kitchen had piles of plates, some peppersauces and several cruet(fancy sauce bottles). This one was probably thrown out because the glass stopper was broken off inside the neck........thereby sealing in the contents of what I guess to be steak sauce because of the brown murky spice filled liquid inside.

I never want this to be opened as the smell might knock me out after 140+years of sitting...haha.

Interesting that people want to keep contents which or may not be unknown in the bottles they find, considering some of the "stuff" that may actually be in the bottle I would rather dump it or leave it personally. There are alot of things out there that can be harmful to us all...Jim

Some of that gunk is the worst stuff ever to clean out! ive ruined many brushes and have had to scrub drains and sinks. When the tar-like substances are in there, I often rinse and repeat with warm water and dish detergent multiple times and try to use all sorts of different cleaners. Such a pain!

That's a nice one Mike....did you find it in a barn or attic? or buy it at a show?

That came from a Heckler auction, Seems to me he had like 1/2 a dozen or so that came from an attic someplace in Ohio along with many many other NOS bottles Mike

I found this bottle diving off of newport ri. still had the cork and it's contents. I still have the gin in my freezer and it didn't freeze so I guess it's 50% or better.
