I just got some film developed today (jar people, please answer my ? under jars...I'm dyin') & my bottles from last month were on there too. I can't resist posting. The Aqua is MOXIE NERVE FOOD LOWELL MASS PATENTED. It was in the muck at the bottom of an inland lake. Probably about 3 feet down. Not near any wrecks, parks, or sensitive areas. I found all kinds of fun info about Moxie on the internet, and the same formula is now sold as a bad-tasting soda pop that is good for you (how does that differ from patent medicine?). I can't figure out the maker's mark, though--it is an "I" with a halo around the top. Anybody seen that one? I'm guessing the age at 1876-1906 because he had to remove "Nerve Food" from the name that year. Seems stops at the shoulder, very heavy glass, with big bubbles. Any way to narrow the date?
The clear bottle has no embossing, a really strange screw top, the seam goes through the lip, and it has alot of bubbles. Ketchup? Relish? Any ideas?
