On our "Big Dig" here in Key West we've found hundreds of big wine & champaige bottles. If they are whole and unbroken everyone puts them to the side and at the end of the day I go through and pick them up so they don't go to the dump. (I'll find something to do with them.)

So Thursday afternoon after picking bottles (in the oldest material we dug in yet) I saw that some of my co-workers had made a pile of about 20 bottles they didn't want from earlier in the day. I went over as I always do, picked up the left-overs and headed home.


Then, yesterday I happened, I looked in the tote in the back of my truck and there it was, something none of us had come across yet. A dark green alcohol bottle with the crudest screw top any of us have seen.

Here are the pictures I took of it. I'm sure some of you have some background on this one.

Thanks!

Nice to finally see another! I've been puzzling for years over the one I have, which is also turn-molded but smaller, 12 oz size.. and looks like yours has more turns on the thread..

The color likes almost exact, Yours is very clean of course!

The dirt we got this out of was the oldest yet. We found some very interesting bottles in there.

Here's one more..

Mine was also picked out of a pile of someone else's tossers, surely an oversight.. they are likely European made but I hold them in high regard, since you just don't see them around..

Maybe we'll trade for something down the line?

I still haven't even checked most of my bottles. I may have a few of them??
